Home, home -- a few small rooms, stiflingly over-inhabited by a man, by a periodically teeming woman, by a rabble of boys and girls of all ages. No air, no space an understerilized prison darkness, disease, and smells.
Aldous Huxley

More quotes by Aldous Huxley
We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom.
Aldous Huxley
Now, a corpse, poor thing, is an untouchable and the process of decay is, of all pieces of bad manners, the vulgarest imaginable. For a corpse is, by definition, a person absolutely devoid of savoir vivre.
Aldous Huxley
God isn't compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness.
Aldous Huxley
Art, I suppose, is only for beginners, who have made up in their minds to be content with symbols rather than with what they signify, with the elegantly composed recipe in lieu of actual dinner.
Aldous Huxley
But then every man is ludicrous if you look at him from outside, without taking into account what’s going on in his heart and mind.
Aldous Huxley
Hug me till you drug me, honey Kiss me till I'm in a coma.
Aldous Huxley
Parodies and caricatures are the most penetrating of criticisms.
Aldous Huxley
Today we are faced, I think, with the approach of what may be called the ultimate revolution, the final revolution, where man can act directly on the mind-body of his fellows.
Aldous Huxley
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own.
Aldous Huxley
Good is a product of the ethical and spiritual artistry of individuals it cannot be mass-produced.
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
Art is one of the means whereby man seeks to redeem a life which is experienced as chaotic, senseless, and largely evil.
Aldous Huxley
To his dog, every man is Napoleon hence the constant popularity of dogs.
Aldous Huxley
The pleasures of ignorance are as great, in their way, as the pleasures of knowledge.
Aldous Huxley
I'm sick. I've eaten civilisation and I'm sick.
Aldous Huxley
I am ignorant and impotent and yet, somehow or other, here I am, unhappy, no doubt, profoundly dissatisfied ... In spite of everything I survive.
Aldous Huxley
The quality of moral behavior varies in inverse ratio to the number of human beings involved.
Aldous Huxley
Half at least of all morality is negative and consists in keeping out of mischief. The lords prayer is less than 50 words long, and 6 of those words are devoted to asking god not to lead us into temptation.
Aldous Huxley
One seventh of your life is spent on Monday.
Aldous Huxley
Every ceiling, when reached, becomes a floor, upon which one walks as a matter of course and prescriptive right
