More quotes by Aldous Huxley
The fact that people are shocked is the best proof that they need shocking.
Aldous Huxley
Successfully (whatever that may mean) or unsuccessfully, we all overact the part of our favorite character in fiction.
Aldous Huxley
Every significant artist is a metaphysician, a propounder of beauty-truths and form-theories.
Aldous Huxley
Assembled in a crowd, people lose their powers of reasoning and their capacity for moral choice.
Aldous Huxley
The indispensible is not necessarily the desirable.
Aldous Huxley
In spiritual matters, knowledge is dependent upon being as we are, so we know.
Aldous Huxley
Pure Spirit, one hundred degrees proof - that's a drink that only the most hardened contemplation-guzzlers indulge in. Bodhisattvas dilute their Nirvana with equal parts of love and work.
Aldous Huxley
Ultimate Reality is not clearly and immediately apprehended except by those who have made themselves loving, pure in heart and poor in spirit.
Aldous Huxley
Words can be like X-rays if you use them properly -- they’ll go through anything. You read and you’re pierced.
Aldous Huxley
There are many kinds of gods. Therefore there are many kinds of men.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
We are all geniuses up to the age of ten.
Aldous Huxley
For in spite of language, in spite of intelligence and intuition and sympathy, one can never really communicate anything to anybody.
Aldous Huxley
The lion will lay down with the lamb...but every morning they'll have to provide a new lamb. Maybe this world is another planet's hell.
Aldous Huxley
Seated upon the convex mound Of one vast kidney, Jonah prays And sings his canticles and hymns, Making the hollow vault resound God's goodness and mysterious ways, Till the great fish spouts music as he swims.
Aldous Huxley
Man is an intelligence in servitude to his organs.
Aldous Huxley
It is natural to believe in God when you're alone-- quite alone, in the night, thinking about death.
Aldous Huxley
All the advantages of Christianity and alcohol none of their defects.
Aldous Huxley
Thought is barred in this City of Dreadful Joy and conversation is unknown.
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
