Aldous Huxley
Image
My sympathies are, of course, with the Government side, especially the Anarchists for Anarchism seems to me more likely to lead to desirable social change than highly centralized, dictatorial Communism .
Aldous Huxley
Image
What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Civilization is sterilization.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Music is an ocean, but the repertory is hardly even a lake it is a pond.
Aldous Huxley
Image
There isn't any formula or method. You learn to love by loving - by paying attention and doing what one thereby discovers has to be done.
