More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Hell isn't merely paved with good intentions it's walled and roofed with them. Yes, and furnished too.
Aldous Huxley
All that is needed is money and a candidate who can be coached to look sincere. Political principles and plans for specific action have come to lose most of their importance. The personality of the candidate, the way he is projected by the advertising experts, are the things that really matter.
Aldous Huxley
I had to depend on Braille for my reading and guide for my walking...I am now wearing no glasses, reading and all without strain...by taking lessons in seeing...optometrists hate the method.
Aldous Huxley
There's only one effectively redemptive sacrifice, the sacrifice of self-will to make room for the knowledge of God.
Aldous Huxley
...most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution.
Aldous Huxley
The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.
Aldous Huxley
You've got to be hurt and upset otherwise you can't think of the really good, penetrating, X-rayish phrases.
Aldous Huxley
Our kingdom go is the necessary and unavoidable corollary of 'Thy kingdom come.' For the more there is self, the less there is of God. The divine eternal fulness of life can be gained only by those who have deliberately lost the partial, separative life of craving and self-interest, of egocentric thinking, feeling, wishing, and acting.
Aldous Huxley
There isn't any formula or method. You learn to love by loving - by paying attention and doing what one thereby discovers has to be done.
Aldous Huxley
Pully, hauly, tug with a will the gods wiggle waggle, but the sky stands still.
Aldous Huxley
All war propaganda consists, in the last resort, in substituting diabolical abstractions for human beings. Similarly, those who defend war have invented a pleasant sounding vocabulary of abstractions in which to describe the process of mass murder.
Aldous Huxley
Addiction is an increasing desire for an act that gives less and less satisfaction
Aldous Huxley
Real progress is progress in charity, all other advances being secondary thereto.
Aldous Huxley
The rush to books and universities is like the rush to the public house. People want to drown their realization of the difficulties of living properly in this grotesque contemporary world, they want to forget their own deplorable inefficiency as artists in life.
Aldous Huxley
Dictators can always consolidate their tyranny by an appeal to patriotism.
Aldous Huxley
Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are dead.
Aldous Huxley
If human beings were shown what they're really like, they'd either kill one another as vermin, or hang themselves.
Aldous Huxley
Cynical realism is the intelligent man's best excuse for doing nothing in an intolerable situation.
Aldous Huxley
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
...it is not what one has experienced but what one does with what one has experienced that matters.
Aldous Huxley
