More quotes by Aldous Huxley
For some strange reason murder has always seemed more respectable than fornication. Few people are shocked when they hear God described as the God of Battles but what an outcry there would be if anyone spoke of him as the God of Brothels.
Aldous Huxley
Only one more indispensable massacre of Capitalists or Communists or Fascists or Christians or Heretics, and there we are in the Golden Future.
Aldous Huxley
Let us be kinder to one another.
Aldous Huxley
We now spend a good deal more on drink and smoke than we spend on education. This, of course, is not surprising. The urge to escape from selfhood and the environment is in almost everyone almost all the time.
Aldous Huxley
One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them.
Aldous Huxley
A man may have strong humanitarian and democratic principles, but if he happens to have been brought up as a bath-taking, shirt-changing lover of fresh air, he will have to overcome certain physical repugnance before he can bring himself to put those principles into practice.
Aldous Huxley
If we must play the theological game, let us never forget that it is a game. Religion, it seems to me, can survive only as a consciously accepted system of make-believe.
Aldous Huxley
Good is that which makes for unity. Evil is that which makes for separateness.
Aldous Huxley
I know very dimly when I start what's going to happen. I just have a very general idea, and then the thing develops as I write.
Aldous Huxley
Somewhere in the rain, there will always be an abandoned dog that prevents you from being happy.
Aldous Huxley
A man who has trained himself in goodness come to have certain direct intuitions about character, about the relations between human beings, about his own position in the world - intuitions that are quite different from the intuitions of the average sensual man.
Aldous Huxley
In all activities of life, the secret of efficiency lies in an ability to combine two seemingly incompatible states: a state of maximum activity and a state of maximum relaxation.
Aldous Huxley
My father considered a walk among the mountains as the equivalent of churchgoing.
Aldous Huxley
The critics don't interest me because they're concerned with what's past and done, while I'm concerned with what comes next.
Aldous Huxley
I've never discussed my writing with others much, but I don't believe it can do any harm. I don't think that there's any risk that ideas or materials will evaporate.
Aldous Huxley
If most of us remain ignorant of ourselves, it is because self-knowledge is painful and we prefer the pleasures of illusion.
Aldous Huxley
If we evolved a race of Isaac Newtons, that would not be progress. For the price Newton had to pay for being a supreme intellect was that he was incapable of friendship, love, fatherhood, and many other desirable things. As a man he was a failure as a monster he was superb.
Aldous Huxley
An ideal is merely the projection, on an enormously enlarged scale, of some aspect of personality.
Aldous Huxley
Happiness has got to be paid for. You're paying for it, Mr. Watson–paying because you happen to be too much interested in beauty. I was too much interested in truth I paid too.
Aldous Huxley
I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.
Aldous Huxley
