More quotes by Aldous Huxley
In actual life a downward movement may sometimes be made the beginning of an ascent.
Aldous Huxley
To associate with other like-minded people in small, purposeful groups is for the great majority of men and women a source of profound psychological satisfaction. Exclusiveness will add to the pleasure of being several, but at one and secrecy will intensify it almost to ecstasy.
Aldous Huxley
Civilization means food and literature all round. Beefsteaks and fiction magazines for all. First-class proteins for the body, fourth-class love-stories for the spirit.
Aldous Huxley
Proverbs are always platitudes until you have personally experienced the truth of them.
Aldous Huxley
Happiness is like coke — something you get as a by-product in the process of making something else.
Aldous Huxley
The fact that people are shocked is the best proof that they need shocking.
Aldous Huxley
There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.
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
Proportion ... You can't help thinking about it in these London streets, where it doesn't exist ... It's like listening to a symphony of cats to walk along them. Senseless discords and a horrible disorder all the way ... We need no barbarians from outside they're on the premises, all the time.
Aldous Huxley
Man has an almost infinite capacity for taking things and people for granted and thereby missing out on the pleasure of being grateful that things aren't worse and of praising and thereby lifting the spirits of others.
Aldous Huxley
...it is not what one has experienced but what one does with what one has experienced that matters.
Aldous Huxley
Well... ...That's what you always forget, isn't it? I mean, you forget to pay attention to what's happening. And that's the same as not being here and now.
Aldous Huxley
Nonsense is an assertion of man's spiritual freedom in spite of all the oppressions of circumstance.
Aldous Huxley
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
In life, man proposes, God disposes.
Aldous Huxley
Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west then paused, and after a few seconds, turned as unhurriedly back towards the left. South-south-west, south, south-east, east.
Aldous Huxley
Isn't it remarkable how everyone who knew [D.H.] Lawrence has felt compelled to write about him? Why, he's had more books written about him than any writer since Byron!
Aldous Huxley
For the first time in the history of the world, Buddhism proclaimed a salvation which each individual could gain from him or herself, in this world, during this life, without any least reference to God, or to gods either great or small.
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
Uncontrolled, the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle, cutting off the soul from what it desires. If a man would travel far along the mystic road, he must learn to desire God intensely but in stillness, passively and yet with all his heart and mind and strength.
Aldous Huxley
