An irrelevance, and your life's altered.
Aldous Huxley
Image
...most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution.
Aldous Huxley
Image
It's a little embarrassing that after 45 years of research & study, the best advice I can give people is to be a little kinder to each other.
Aldous Huxley
Image
If most of us remain ignorant of ourselves, it is because self-knowledge is painful and we prefer the pleasures of illusion.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Half at least of all morality is negative and consists in keeping out of mischief. The lords prayer is less than 50 words long, and 6 of those words are devoted to asking god not to lead us into temptation.
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
Most vices demand considerable self-sacrifices. There is no greater mistake than to suppose that a vicious life is a life of uninterrupted pleasure. It is a life almost as wearisome and painful -- if strenuously led -- as Christian's in The Pilgrim's Progress.

Aldous Huxley
Image
I was born wandering between two worlds, one dead, the other powerless to be born, and have made, in a curious way, the worst of both.
Aldous Huxley
Image
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
Image
In a word, they failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Armaments, universal debt, and planned obsolescence - those are the three pillars of Western prosperity. If war, waste, and moneylenders were abolished, you'd collapse. And while you people are overconsuming the rest of the world sinks more and more deeply into chronic disaster.
Aldous Huxley
Image
To be well informed, one must read quickly a great number of merely instructive books. To be cultivated, one must read slowly and with a lingering appreciation the comparatively few books that have been written by men who lived, thought, and felt with style.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The lunatic fringe is more like a Spanish shawl, where the fringe makes up the entire garment.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Can we unite against ourselves for our own higher interest?
Aldous Huxley
Image
All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Every ceiling reached becomes a floor.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I ate civilization. It poisoned me I was defiled. And then, he added in a lower tone, I ate my own wickedness.
Aldous Huxley
