More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Proverbs are always platitudes until you have personally experienced the truth of them.
Aldous Huxley
...two thirds of all sorrow is homemade and, so far as the universe is concerned, unnecessary.
Aldous Huxley
Lying in bed, he would think of Heaven and London.
Aldous Huxley
The Alexander Technique gives us all things we have been looking for in a system of physical education: relief from strain due to maladjustment, and constant improvement in physical and mental health. We cannot ask for more from any system nor, if we seriously desire to alter human beings in a desirable direction, can we ask for any less.
Aldous Huxley
Perhaps it's good for one to suffer. Can an artist do anything if he's happy? Would he ever want to do anything? What is art, after all, but a protest against the horrible inclemency of life?
Aldous Huxley
We tend to think and feel in terms of the art we like and if the art we like is bad then our thinking and feeling will be bad. And if the thinking and feeling of most of the individuals composing a society is bad, is not that society in danger?
Aldous Huxley
Wild inside raging, writhing—yes, writhing was the word, writhing with desire. But outwardly he was hopelessly tame outwardly—baa, baa, baa.
Aldous Huxley
I like being myself. Myself and nasty.
Aldous Huxley
Give us this day our daily Faith, but deliver us, dear God, from Belief.
Aldous Huxley
I don't think there is any incompatibility between science and mysticism . . . Immanent religion is the only form of religion in which there is no conflict at all, that I can see, between science and religion.
Aldous Huxley
Work is prayer. Work is also stink. Therefore stink is prayer.
Aldous Huxley
I know the outer world as well as you do, and I judge it. You know nothing of my inner world, and yet you presume to judge that world.
Aldous Huxley
At this point we find ourselves confronted by a very disquieting question: Do we really wish to act upon our knowledge?
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
Asceticism, it is evident, has a double motivation. If men and women torment their bodies, it is not only because they hope in this way to atone for past sins and avoid future punishments it is also because they long to visit the mind's antipodes and do some visionary sightseeing.
Aldous Huxley
Why should human females become sterile in their forties, while female crocodiles continue to lay eggs into their third century?
Aldous Huxley
The natural rhythm of human life is routine punctuated by orgies.
Aldous Huxley
It's with bad sentiments that one makes good novels.
Aldous Huxley
Thought must be divided against itself before it can come to any knowledge of itself.
Aldous Huxley
Consider the problem of over-population. Rapidly mounting human numbers are pressing ever more heavily on natural resources. What is to be done?... The annual increase of numbers should be reduced. But how? We are given two choices -- famine, pestilence and war on the one hand, birth control on the other. Most of us choose birth control.
