It isn't a matter of forgetting. What one has to learn is how to remember and yet be free of the past.
Aldous Huxley
Image
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
Image
People often ask me what is the most effective technique for transforming their life. It is a little embarrassing that after years and years of research and experimentation, I have to say that the best answer is - just be a little kinder.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Image
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
Image
Art and religion, carnivals and saturnalia, dancing and listening to oratory - all these have served, in H. G. Wells's phrase, as Doors in the Wall.
Aldous Huxley
Image
But every one belongs to every one else
Aldous Huxley
Image
But then people don't read literature in order to understand they read it because they want to re-live the feelings and sensations which they found exciting in the past. Art can be a lot of things but in actual practice, most of it is merely the mental equivalent of alcohol and cantharides.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Only times and places, only names and ghosts.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Sleep is the most blessed and blessing of all natural graces.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The pleasures of ignorance are as great, in their way, as the pleasures of knowledge.
Aldous Huxley
Image
To his dog, every man is Napoleon hence the constant popularity of dogs.
Aldous Huxley

The quality of moral behavior varies in inverse ratio to the number of human beings involved.
