[...] Technology has tended to devaluate the traditional vision-inducing materials.

Now it occurs nightly and celebrates the virtues of gin, cigarettes and toothpaste.

Aldous Huxley
Image

Aldous Huxley
Image
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
Image
When people are suspicious with you, you start being suspicious with them.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The instinct of acquisitiveness has more perverts, I believe, than the instinct of sex. At any rate, people seem to me odder about money than about even their amours.
Aldous Huxley
