Words form the thread on which we string our experiences. [Therefore be careful how you interpret your life. Don't think or speak negatively lest your subconscious and others take you at your word and you are hung by your own tongue!]

Aldous Huxley

For some strange reason murder has always seemed more respectable than fornication. Few people are shocked when they hear God described as the God of Battles but what an outcry there would be if anyone spoke of him as the God of Brothels.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The pursuit of truth is just a polite name for the intellectual's favorite pastime of substituting simple and therefore false abstractions for the living complexities of reality.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The lunatic fringe is more like a Spanish shawl, where the fringe makes up the entire garment.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Generalities are intellectually necessary evils.
Aldous Huxley
Image
If the Prince of Peace should come to earth, one of the first things he would do would be to put psychiatrists in their place.
Aldous Huxley
Image
A man may be a pessimistic determinist before lunch and an optimistic believer in the will's freedom after it.
Aldous Huxley
Image
In the contexts of religion and politics, words are not regarded as standing, rather inadequately, for things and events on the contrary things and events are regarded as particular illustrations of words.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Happiness is like coke — something you get as a by-product in the process of making something else.
Aldous Huxley
