More quotes by Aldous Huxley
For the born traveller, travelling is a besetting vice. Like other vices, it is imperious, demanding its victim's time, money, energy and the sacrifice of comfort.
Aldous Huxley
The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence.
Aldous Huxley
To be excited is still to be unsatisfied.
Aldous Huxley
Maybe this world is another planet's Hell.
Aldous Huxley
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

Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Man approaches the unattainable truth through a succession of errors.
Aldous Huxley
Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.
Aldous Huxley
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
Everyone thinks this way at some point. The important thing is to power through and get to learning. If you really don't have the time Let Me Handle Your Analytics.
Aldous Huxley
What wonder, then, if human beings in their search for the divine have generally preferred to look within!
Aldous Huxley
Man is hypnotized by the glitter of his own gadgetry
Aldous Huxley
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Aldous Huxley
Wherever the choice has had to be made between the man of reason and the madman, the world has unhesitatingly followed the madman.
Aldous Huxley
Religion is always a patron of the arts, but its taste is by no means impeccable.
Aldous Huxley
That we are not much sicker and much madder than we are is due exclusively to that most blessed and blessing of all natural graces, sleep.
Aldous Huxley
Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.
Aldous Huxley
In all activities of life, the secret of efficiency lies in an ability to combine two seemingly incompatible states: a state of maximum activity and a state of maximum relaxation.
Aldous Huxley
Most ignorance is vincible ignorance. We don't know because we don't want to know.
Aldous Huxley
