More quotes by 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
When truth is nothing but truth, it's unnatural, it's an abstraction that resembles nothing in the real world.
Aldous Huxley
Suppose it were perfectly certain that the life and fortune of each of us would some day depend upon our winning or losing a game of chess. Do you not think that we should all consider it to be our primary duty to learn at least the names of the pieces and how to position them on the chessboard?
Aldous Huxley
The goal in life is to discover that you’ve always been where you were supposed to be.
Aldous Huxley
The present moment is the only aperture through which the soul can pass out of time into eternity, through which grace can pass out of eternity into the soul, and through which love can pass from one soul in time to another soul in time.
Aldous Huxley
All right then, said the Savage defiantly, I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.
Aldous Huxley
Those who feel themselves despised do well to look despising.
Aldous Huxley
Pure Spirit, one hundred degrees proof - that's a drink that only the most hardened contemplation-guzzlers indulge in. Bodhisattvas dilute their Nirvana with equal parts of love and work.
Aldous Huxley
I have always found that Angels have the vanity to speak of themselves as the only wise.
Aldous Huxley
People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.
Aldous Huxley
God isn't compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness.
Aldous Huxley
Real progress is progress in charity, all other advances being secondary thereto.
Aldous Huxley
All war propaganda consists, in the last resort, in substituting diabolical abstractions for human beings. Similarly, those who defend war have invented a pleasant sounding vocabulary of abstractions in which to describe the process of mass murder.
Aldous Huxley
In a word, they failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions.
Aldous Huxley
The most intractable of our experiences is the experience of Time-the intuition of duration, combined with the thought of perpetual perishing.
Aldous Huxley
That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane human being has ever given his assent.
Aldous Huxley
I'd rather be myself, he said. Myself and nasty. Not somebody else, however jolly.
Aldous Huxley
Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.
Aldous Huxley
One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them.
Aldous Huxley
We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom.
Aldous Huxley
