Good is that which makes for unity. Evil is that which makes for separateness.
Aldous Huxley
A gramme is better than a damn.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Happiness is like coke — something you get as a by-product in the process of making something else.
Aldous Huxley
Nothing — the only perfection, the only absolute. Infinite and eternal nothing.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Every idol, however exalted, turns out, in the long run, to be a Moloch, hungry for human sacrifice.
Aldous Huxley
We live together, we act on, and react to one another but always, and in all circumstances, we are by ourselves.
Aldous Huxley
Industrialization is the systemic exploitation of wasting assets. In all too many cases, the thing we call progress is merely an acceleration in the rate of that exploitation.
Aldous Huxley
I had to depend on Braille for my reading and guide for my walking...I am now wearing no glasses, reading and all without strain...by taking lessons in seeing...optometrists hate the method.
Aldous Huxley
Happiness has got to be paid for. You're paying for it, Mr. Watson–paying because you happen to be too much interested in beauty. I was too much interested in truth I paid too.
Aldous Huxley
To be a fool at the right time is also an art.
Aldous Huxley
