More quotes by Aldous Huxley
The goal in life is to discover that you’ve always been where you were supposed to be.
Aldous Huxley
I am I, and I wish I weren't.
Aldous Huxley
Teaching is the last refuge of feeble minds with a classical education.
Aldous Huxley
There is no bad day that can’t be overcome by listening to a barbershop quartet. This is just truth, plain and simple.
Aldous Huxley
Feasts must be solemn and rare, or else they cease to be feasts.
Aldous Huxley
When the individual feels, the community reels.
Aldous Huxley
People believe in God because they've been conditioned to believe in God.
Aldous Huxley
Societies are composed of individuals and are good only insofar as they help individuals to realize their potentialities and to lead a happy and creative life.
Aldous Huxley
That we are not much sicker and much madder than we are is due exclusively to that most blessed and blessing of all natural graces, sleep.
Aldous Huxley
The present moment is the only aperture through which the soul can pass out of time into eternity, through which grace can pass out of eternity into the soul, and through which love can pass from one soul in time to another soul in time.
Aldous Huxley
Sunsets and death death and therefore kisses, kisses and consequently birth and then death for yet another generation of sunset watchers.
Aldous Huxley
A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.
Aldous Huxley
They're old they're about God hundreds of years ago. Not about God now But God doesn't change Men do though
Aldous Huxley
It takes a certain amount of intelligence and imagination to realize the extraordinary queerness and mysteriousness of the world in which we live.
Aldous Huxley
Nothing short of everything will really do.
Aldous Huxley
But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.
Aldous Huxley
Pure Spirit, one hundred degrees proof - that's a drink that only the most hardened contemplation-guzzlers indulge in. Bodhisattvas dilute their Nirvana with equal parts of love and work.
Aldous Huxley
Children are nowhere taught, in any systematic way, to distinguish true from false, or meaningful from meaningless, statements. Why is this so? Because their elders, even in the democratic countries, do not want them to be given this kind of education.
Aldous Huxley
For some strange reason murder has always seemed more respectable than fornication. Few people are shocked when they hear God described as the God of Battles but what an outcry there would be if anyone spoke of him as the God of Brothels.
Aldous Huxley
[I am not] the captain of my soul I am only its noisiest passenger.
Aldous Huxley
