...two thirds of all sorrow is homemade and, so far as the universe is concerned, unnecessary.
Aldous Huxley
Image
If human beings were shown what they're really like, they'd either kill one another as vermin, or hang themselves.
Aldous Huxley
Image
A competent portraitist knows how to imply the profile in the full face.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The inconveniences and horrors of the pox are perfectly well known to every one but still the disease flourishes and spreads. Several million people were killed in a recent war and half the world ruined but we all busily go on in courses that make another event of the same sort inevitable. Experientia docet? Experientia doesn't.
Aldous Huxley

It is delightful to read on the spot the impressions and opinions of tourists who visited a hundred years ago, in the vehicles and with the aesthetic prejudices of the period, the places which you are visiting now. The voyage ceases to be a mere tour through space you travel through time and thought as well.
Aldous Huxley

I believe one would write better if the climate were bad. If there were a lot of wind and storms for example.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth.
Aldous Huxley

Individual insanity is immune to the consequences of collective insanity
Aldous Huxley
Image
I don't care where I'm from, nor where I'm going. From hell to hell.
Aldous Huxley
Image
We are not our own any more than what we possess is our own. We did not make ourselves, we cannot be supreme over ourselves. We are not our own masters.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Man is an amphibian who lives simultaneously in two worlds-the given and the home-made, the world of matter, life and consciousness and the world of symbols.
Aldous Huxley
Image
When life appears to be working against you, when your luck is down, when the supposedly wrong people show up, or when you slip up and return to old, self-defeating habits, recognize the signs that you're out of harmony with intention.
Aldous Huxley
Image
There is no substitute for talent. Industry and all its virtues are of no avail.
Aldous Huxley
Image
War is often described as a law of nature-this is not true: Among the lower animals, war is unknown.
Aldous Huxley
Image
One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Assemble a mob of men and women previously conditioned by a daily reading of the newspapers treat them to amplified band music, bright lights...and in next to no time you can reduce them to a state of almost mindless subhumanity. Never before have so few been in a position to make fools, maniacs, or criminals of so many.

Pain was a fascinating horror

Habit converts luxurious enjoyments into dull and daily necessities.

Those who believe that they are exclusively in the right are generally those who achieve something.

Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.
