More quotes by Aldous Huxley
I like being myself. Myself and nasty.
Aldous Huxley
Europe is so well gardened that it resembles a work of art, a scientific theory, a neat metaphysical system. Man has re-created Europe in his own image.
Aldous Huxley
Plasticene and self-expression will not solve the problems of education. Nor will technology and vocational guidance nor the classics and the Hundred Best Books.
Aldous Huxley
... the greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do. Provided the rulers do not interfere with its material comforts and its cherished beliefs, it is perfectly happy to let itself be ruled.
Aldous Huxley
Industrial man—a sentient reciprocating engine having a fluctuating output, coupled to an iron wheel revolving with uniform velocity. And then we wonder why this should be the golden age of revolution and mental derangement.
Aldous Huxley
Work is prayer. Work is also stink. Therefore stink is prayer.
Aldous Huxley
Reality, however utopian, is something from which people feel the need of taking pretty frequent holidays.
Aldous Huxley
Grace is always sufficient, provided we are ready to cooperate with it.
Aldous Huxley
To see ourselves as others see us is a most salutary gift. Hardly less important is the capacity to see others as they see themselves.
Aldous Huxley
For what we think and feel and are is to a great extent determined by the state of our ductless glands and our viscera.
Aldous Huxley
In books, the proportion of exceptional to commonplace people is high in reality, very low.
Aldous Huxley
Faith, it is evident, may be relied on to produce sustained action and, more rarely, sustained contemplation.
Aldous Huxley
Applied Science is a conjuror, whose bottomless hat yields impartially the softest of Angora rabbits and the most petrifying of Medusas.
Aldous Huxley
Don't try to behave as though you were essentially sane and naturally good. We're all demented sinners in the same cosmic boat - and the boat is perpetually sinking.
Aldous Huxley
Science in itself is morally neutral it becomes good or evil according as it is applied.
Aldous Huxley
To talk about religion except in terms of human psychology is an irrelevance.
Aldous Huxley
The self is coming from a state of pure awareness from the state of being. All the rest that comes about in a outward manifesation of the physical world, including fluctuations which end up as thoughts and actions
Aldous Huxley
Nobody can have the consolations of religion or philosophy unless he has first experienced their desolations.
Aldous Huxley
Maybe this world is another planet's Hell.
Aldous Huxley
Hitler's vast propaganda successes were accomplished with little more than the radio and loudspeaker, and without TV and tape and video recording . . . Today the art of mind control is in the process of becoming a science.
Aldous Huxley
