The vast majority of human beings are not interested in reason or satisfied with what it teaches.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Image
Dedicated to all those who say: I don't have time for analytics or I don't understand analytics.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Words are good servants but bad masters.
Aldous Huxley
Image
To talk about religion except in terms of human psychology is an irrelevance.
Aldous Huxley
Image
There is no bad day that can’t be overcome by listening to a barbershop quartet. This is just truth, plain and simple.
Aldous Huxley

Medical science has made such tremendous progress that there is hardly a healthy human left.

The silent bear no witness against themselves.

Good is that which makes for unity. Evil is that which makes for separateness.

I am I, and I wish I weren't.
