Image
One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them. Finding bad reasons for what one believes for other bad reasons-that's philosophy. People believe in God because they've been conditioned to believe in God.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Every man's memory is his private literature.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Back to culture. Yes, actually to culture. You can’t consume much if you sit still and read books.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Thought is barred in this City of Dreadful Joy and conversation is unknown.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Hell is the incapacity to be other than the creature one finds oneself ordinarily behaving as.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Specialized meaninglessness has come to be regarded, in certain circles, as a kind of hallmark of true science.
Aldous Huxley
Image
A man can smile and smile and be a villain.
Aldous Huxley

Asceticism, it is evident, has a double motivation. If men and women torment their bodies, it is not only because they hope in this way to atone for past sins and avoid future punishments it is also because they long to visit the mind's antipodes and do some visionary sightseeing.
Aldous Huxley

There was a thing called Heaven but all the same they used to drink enormous quantities of alcohol.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Folly is often more cruel in the consequences than malice can be in the intent.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Drill and uniforms impose an architecture on the crowd. An army's beautiful. But that's not all it panders to lower instincts than the aesthetic. The spectacle of human beings reduced to automatism satisfies the lust for power. Looking at mechanized slaves, one fancies oneself a master.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Death is the only thing we haven't succeeded in completely vulgarizing.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Ultimate Reality is not clearly and immediately apprehended except by those who have made themselves loving, pure in heart and poor in spirit.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Industrial man—a sentient reciprocating engine having a fluctuating output, coupled to an iron wheel revolving with uniform velocity. And then we wonder why this should be the golden age of revolution and mental derangement.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Never have so many been manipulated so much by so few.
Aldous Huxley
Image
And no wonder for the new technique of subliminal projection, as it was called, was intimately associated with mass entertainment, and in the life of civilized human beings massed entertainment now plays a part comparable to that played in the Middle Ages be religion.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Dream in a pragmatic way.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The most distressing thing that can happen to a prophet is to be proved wrong. The next most distressing thing is to be proved right.
Aldous Huxley

In life, man proposes, God disposes.
