More quotes by Aldous Huxley
When an artist deserts to the side of the angels, it is the most odious of treasons.
Aldous Huxley
And what strange voices they have! Sometimes like the complaining of small children sometimes like the noise of lambs.
Aldous Huxley

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
Industrial civilization is only possible when there's no self-denial. Self-indulgence up to the very limits imposed by hygiene and economics. Otherwise the wheels stop turning.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
It is natural to believe in God when you're alone-- quite alone, in the night, thinking about death.
Aldous Huxley
When people are suspicious with you, you start being suspicious with them.
Aldous Huxley
If it were not for the intellectual snobs who pay - in solid cash - the arts would perish with their starving practitioners. Let us thank heaven for hypocrisy.
Aldous Huxley
...most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution.
Aldous Huxley
The quality of moral behavior varies in inverse ratio to the number of human beings involved.
Aldous Huxley
Well... ...That's what you always forget, isn't it? I mean, you forget to pay attention to what's happening. And that's the same as not being here and now.
Aldous Huxley
Most kings and priests have been despotic, and all religions have been riddled with superstition.
Aldous Huxley
That we are not much sicker and much madder than we are is due exclusively to that most blessed and blessing of all natural graces, sleep.
Aldous Huxley
An intellectual is a person who's found one thing that's more interesting than sex.
Aldous Huxley
If you look up 'Intelligence' in the new volumes of the Encyclopeadia Britannica, you'll find it classified under the following three heads: Intelligence, Human Intelligence, Animal Intelligence, Military. My stepfather's a perfect specimen of Intelligence, Military.
Aldous Huxley
