On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.
Aldous Huxley
Image
All our science is just a cookery book, with an orthodox theory of cooking that nobody's allowed to question, and a list of recipes that mustn't be added to except by special permission from the head cook.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Lying in bed, he would think of Heaven and London.
Aldous Huxley
Image
We shall be permitted to live on this planet only for as long as we treat all nature with compassion and intelligence.
Aldous Huxley
Image
A life-worshipper's philosophy is comprehensive. He is at one moment a positivist and at another a mystic: now haunted by the thought of death and now a Dionysian child of nature now a pessimist and now, with a change of lover or liver or even the weather, an exuberant believer that God's in his heaven and all's right with the world.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Image
It's a very salutary thing to realize that the rather dull universe in which most of us spend most of our time is not the only universe there is. I think it's healthy that people should have this experience.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Ignore death up to the last moment then, when it can't be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh?
Aldous Huxley
Image
Cleanliness is next to fordliness.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Liberties are not given, they are taken.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The fact that people are shocked is the best proof that they need shocking.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Death is the only thing we haven't succeeded in completely vulgarizing.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Folly is often more cruel in the consequences than malice can be in the intent.
Aldous Huxley
Image
One of the great attractions of patriotism
Aldous Huxley
Image
We now spend a good deal more on drink and smoke than we spend on education. This, of course, is not surprising. The urge to escape from selfhood and the environment is in almost everyone almost all the time.
Aldous Huxley
Image
There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Words form the thread on which we string our experiences.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Today we are faced, I think, with the approach of what may be called the ultimate revolution, the final revolution, where man can act directly on the mind-body of his fellows.
Aldous Huxley
Image
In spiritual matters, knowledge is dependent upon being as we are, so we know.
