More quotes by Aldous Huxley
After all, what is reading but a vice, like drink or venery or any other form of excessive self-indulgence? One reads to tickle and amuse one's mind one reads, above all, to prevent oneself thinking.
Aldous Huxley
You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad.
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
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
The sum of evil, Pascal remarked, would be much diminished if men could only learn to sit quietly in their rooms.
Aldous Huxley
Most loverspicture to themselves, in their mistresses, a secret reality, beyond and different from what they see every day. They are in love with somebody else--their own invention. And sometimes there is a secret reality and sometimes reality and appearance are the same. The discovery, in either case, is likely to cause a shock.
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
Man is an amphibian who lives simultaneously in two worlds-the given and the home-made, the world of matter, life and consciousness and the world of symbols.
Aldous Huxley
Real progress is progress in charity, all other advances being secondary thereto.
Aldous Huxley
Parodies and caricatures are the most penetrating of criticisms.
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
Specialized meaninglessness has come to be regarded, in certain circles, as a kind of hallmark of true science.
Aldous Huxley
In any race between human numbers and natural resources, time is against us.
Aldous Huxley
Marble, I perceive, covers a multitude of sins.
Aldous Huxley
Don't try to behave as though you were essentially sane and naturally good. We're all demented sinners in the same cosmic boat - and the boat is perpetually sinking.
Aldous Huxley
And what strange voices they have! Sometimes like the complaining of small children sometimes like the noise of lambs.
Aldous Huxley
Thought must be divided against itself before it can come to any knowledge of itself.
Aldous Huxley
The self is coming from a state of pure awareness from the state of being. All the rest that comes about in a outward manifesation of the physical world, including fluctuations which end up as thoughts and actions
Aldous Huxley
It had the taste of an apple peeled with a steel knife. (Sebastian Barnack assessing a Roederer 1916 champagne in Time Must Have a Stop)
Aldous Huxley
Love casts out fear but conversely fear casts out love. And not only love. Fear also casts out intelligence, casts out goodness, casts out all thought of beauty and truth.
Aldous Huxley
