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
Impulse arrested spills over, and the flood is feeling, the flood is passion, the flood is even madness: it depends on the force of the current, the height and strength of the barrier. The unchecked stream flows smoothly down its appointed channels into a calm well being.
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
Most men and women lead lives at the worst so painful, at the best so monotonous, poor and limited that the urge to escape, the longing to transcend themselves if only for a few moments, is and has always been one of the principal appetites of the soul.
Aldous Huxley
What man has joined, nature is powerless to put asunder.
Aldous Huxley
Good is a product of the ethical and spiritual artistry of individuals it cannot be mass-produced.
Aldous Huxley
In the course of history many more people have died for their drink and their dope than have died for their religion or their country.
Aldous Huxley
Words form the thread on which we string our experiences. [Therefore be careful how you interpret your life. Don't think or speak negatively lest your subconscious and others take you at your word and you are hung by your own tongue!]
Aldous Huxley
It is only when it takes the form of physical addiction that sex is evil. It is also evil when it manifests itself as a way of satisfying the lust for power or the climber's craving for position and social distinction.
Aldous Huxley
But the nature of the universe is such that ends can never justify means. On the contrary, the means always determine the end.
Aldous Huxley
Oh, how desperately bored, in spite of their grim determination to have a Good Time, the majority of pleasure-seekers really are!
Aldous Huxley
As late as the seventeenth century, monarchs owned so little furniture that they had to travel from palace to palace with wagon-loads of plate and bedspreads, of carpets and tapestries.
Aldous Huxley
The traveller's-eye view of men and women is not satisfying. A man might spend his life in trains and restaurants and know nothing of humanity at the end. To know, one must be an actor as well as a spectator.
Aldous Huxley
You all remember, I suppose, that beautiful and inspired saying of Our Ford's: History is bunk.
Aldous Huxley
The propagandist's purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human.
Aldous Huxley
Most kings and priests have been despotic, and all religions have been riddled with superstition.
Aldous Huxley
The pleasures of ignorance are as great, in their way, as the pleasures of knowledge.
Aldous Huxley
Nothing is more dreadful than a cold, unimpassioned indulgence. And love infallibly becomes cold and unimpassioned when it is too lightly made.
Aldous Huxley
Never give children a chance of imagining that anything exists in isolation. Make it plain from the very beginning that all living is relationship. Show them relationships in the woods, in the fields, in the ponds and streams, in the village and in the country around it. Rub it in.
Aldous Huxley
What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood.
Aldous Huxley
To aspire to be superhuman is a most discreditable admission that you lack the guts, the wit, the moderating judgment to be successfully and consummately human.
Aldous Huxley
