More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Parodies and caricatures are the most penetrating of criticisms.
Aldous Huxley
To be excited is still to be unsatisfied.
Aldous Huxley
Being cared for when one is dead is less satisfactory than being cared for when one is alive.
Aldous Huxley
All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Most loverspicture to themselves, in their mistresses, a secret reality, beyond and different from what they see every day. They are in love with somebody else--their own invention. And sometimes there is a secret reality and sometimes reality and appearance are the same. The discovery, in either case, is likely to cause a shock.
Aldous Huxley
But a priest's life is not supposed to be well-rounded it is supposed to be one-pointed - a compass, not a weathercock.
Aldous Huxley
Peace is a necessary condition of spirituality, no less than an inevitable result of it.

One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them.

But every one belongs to every one else
Aldous Huxley
Every idol, however exalted, turns out, in the long run, to be a Moloch, hungry for human sacrifice.
Aldous Huxley
Knowledge is porportionate to being... You know in virtue of what you are.
Aldous Huxley
In the course of history many more people have died for their drink and their dope than have died for their religion or their country.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
So now you can let go, my darling...Let go...Let go of this poor old body. You don't need it anymore. Let it fall away from you. Leave it lying there like a pile of worn-out clothes...Go on, my darling, go on into the Light, into the peace, into the living peace of the Clear Light.
Aldous Huxley
The fact that people are shocked is the best proof that they need shocking.
Aldous Huxley
I am entirely on the side of mystery. I mean, any attempt to explain away the mystery is ridiculous. I believe in the profound and unfathomable mystery of life which has a sort of divine quality about it.
Aldous Huxley
A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.
Aldous Huxley
From the internal reality, by which I means the totality of psychological experiences, it [science] actually separates us. Art, for example, deals with many more aspects of this internal reality than does science, which confines itself deliberately and by convention to the study of one very limited class of experiences the experiences of sense.
Aldous Huxley
