More quotes by Aldous Huxley
The nature of oratory is such that there has always been a tendency among politicians and clergymen to oversimplify complex matters. From a pulpit or a platform even the most conscientious of speakers finds it very difficult to tell the whole truth.
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
The best way to find things out is not to ask questions at all. If you fire off a question, it is like firing off a gun - bang it goes
Aldous Huxley
Sons have always a rebellious wish to be disillusioned by that which charmed their fathers.
Aldous Huxley
A type of revolutionary novelty may be extremely beautiful in itself but, for the creatures of habit that we are, its very novelty tends to make it illegible, at any rate to begin with.
Aldous Huxley
I have always found that Angels have the vanity to speak of themselves as the only wise.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
When the individual feels, the community reels.
Aldous Huxley
The only consistent people are the dead
Aldous Huxley
The present moment is the only aperture through which the soul can pass out of time into eternity, through which grace can pass out of eternity into the soul, and through which love can pass from one soul in time to another soul in time.
Aldous Huxley
No man, however civilized, can listen for very long to African drumming, or Indian chanting, or Welsh hymn singing, and retain intact his critical and self-conscious personality.
Aldous Huxley
A million million spermatozoa, All of them alive: Out of their cataclysm but one poor Noah Dare hope to survive.
Aldous Huxley
A gramme is better than a damn.
Aldous Huxley
God isn't compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness.
Aldous Huxley
For [D.H.] Lawrence, existence was one continuous convalescence it was as though he were newly reborn from a mortal illness every day of his life. What these convalescent eyes saw, his most casual speech would reveal.
Aldous Huxley
which is better - to be born stupid into an intelligent society or intelligent into an insane one?
Aldous Huxley
If you don't gamble, you'll never win.
Aldous Huxley
To those who think that liberty is a good thing, and that it may someday be possible for people to live in a society fit for free, fully human individuals, a thorough education in the nature of language, its uses and abuses, seems indispensable.
Aldous Huxley
Thought of the incomprehensible sequence of changes and chances that make up a life, all the beauties and horrors and absurdities whose conjunctions create the uninterpretable and yet divinely significant pattern of human destiny.
Aldous Huxley
Medical science has made such tremendous progress that there is hardly a healthy human left.
