Aldous Huxley
Like every man of sense and good feeling, I abominate work.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
When life appears to be working against you, when your luck is down, when the supposedly wrong people show up, or when you slip up and return to old, self-defeating habits, recognize the signs that you're out of harmony with intention.
Aldous Huxley
All right then, said the Savage defiantly, I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.
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
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
Idealism is the noble toga that political gentlemen drape over their will to power.
Aldous Huxley
Facts are ventriloquist’s dummies. Sitting on a wise man’s knee they may be made to utter words of wisdom elsewhere, they say nothing, or talk nonsense, or indulge in sheer diabolism.
Aldous Huxley
In the contexts of religion and politics, words are not regarded as standing, rather inadequately, for things and events on the contrary things and events are regarded as particular illustrations of words.
Aldous Huxley
