Generalities are intellectually necessary evils.
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
Image
Civilization means food and literature all round. Beefsteaks and fiction magazines for all. First-class proteins for the body, fourth-class love-stories for the spirit.
Aldous Huxley
Image
In spiritual matters, knowledge is dependent upon being as we are, so we know.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Feasts must be solemn and rare, or else they cease to be feasts.
Aldous Huxley
Image
It isn’t only art that is incompatible with happiness, it’s also science. Science is dangerous, we have to keep it most carefully chained and muzzled.
Aldous Huxley
Image
An ideal is merely the projection, on an enormously enlarged scale, of some aspect of personality.
Aldous Huxley
