Faith, it is evident, may be relied on to produce sustained action and, more rarely, sustained contemplation.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Religion is always a patron of the arts, but its taste is by no means impeccable.
Aldous Huxley
Image
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.

Image
For [D.H.] Lawrence, existence was one continuous convalescence it was as though he were newly reborn from a mortal illness every day of his life. What these convalescent eyes saw, his most casual speech would reveal.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley

It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'try to be a little kinder.'
Aldous Huxley
Image
We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom.
Aldous Huxley

One cubic centimeter cures ten gloomy sentiments.
Aldous Huxley

I want to know what passion is. I want to feel something strongly.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The consistent thinker, the consistently moral man, is either a walking mummy or else, if he has not succeeded in stifling all his vitality, a fanatical monomaniac.
Aldous Huxley
Image
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
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
We can only love what we know, and we can never know completely what we do not love. Love is a mode of knowledge
