More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Dying is almost the least spiritual of our acts, more strictly carnal even than the act of love. There are Death Agonies that are like the strainings of the Costive at stool.
Aldous Huxley
No man ever dared to manifest his boredom so insolently as does a Siamese tomcat when he yawns in the face of his amorously importunate wife.
Aldous Huxley
I've never discussed my writing with others much, but I don't believe it can do any harm. I don't think that there's any risk that ideas or materials will evaporate.
Aldous Huxley
The creation by word-power of something out of nothing--what is that but magic? And, may I add, what is that but literature?
Aldous Huxley
Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of the demons.
Aldous Huxley
Compared with that of Taoists and Far Eastern Buddhists, the Christian attitude toward Nature has been curiously insensitive and often downright domineering and violent. Taking their cue from an unfortunate remark in Genesis, Catholic moralists have regarded animals as mere things which men do right to regard for their own ends. . . .
Aldous Huxley
The most distressing thing that can happen to a prophet is to be proved wrong. The next most distressing thing is to be proved right.
Aldous Huxley
In a few years, no doubt, marriage licences will be sold like dog licences, good for 12 months.
Aldous Huxley
Sunsets and death death and therefore kisses, kisses and consequently birth and then death for yet another generation of sunset watchers.
Aldous Huxley
All right then, said the Savage defiantly, I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.
Aldous Huxley
The quality of moral behavior varies in inverse ratio to the number of human beings involved.
Aldous Huxley
The instinct of acquisitiveness has more perverts, I believe, than the instinct of sex. At any rate, people seem to me odder about money than about even their amours.
Aldous Huxley
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.
Aldous Huxley
Knowledge is porportionate to being... You know in virtue of what you are.
Aldous Huxley
People often ask me what is the most effective technique for transforming their life. It is a little embarrassing that after years and years of research and experimentation, I have to say that the best answer is - just be a little kinder.
Aldous Huxley
If most of us remain ignorant of ourselves, it is because self-knowledge is painful and we prefer the pleasures of illusion.
Aldous Huxley
Somewhere in the rain, there will always be an abandoned dog that prevents you from being happy.
Aldous Huxley
Universal education has created an immense class of what I may call the New Stupid, hungering for certainty yet unable to find it in the traditional myths and their rationalizations.
Aldous Huxley
Given a fair chance, human beings can govern themselves, and govern themselves better
Aldous Huxley
The more a man knows about himself in relation to every kind of experience, the greater his chance of suddenly, one fine morning, realizing who in fact he is.
Aldous Huxley
