Aldous Huxley
Men make use of their illnesses at least as much as they are made use of by them.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
The essay is a literary device for saying almost everything about almost anything
Aldous Huxley
All right then, said the Savage defiantly, I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.
Aldous Huxley
It takes two to make a murder. There are born victims, born to have their throats cut, as the cut-throats are born to be hanged.
Aldous Huxley
Each person is at each moment capable of remembering all that has ever happened to him and of perceiving everything that is happening everywhere in the universe.
Aldous Huxley
