Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Image

Aldous Huxley
Image
...it is not what one has experienced but what one does with what one has experienced that matters.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Ironically enough, the only people who can hold up indefinitely under the stress of modern war are psychotics. Individual insanity is immune to the consequences of collective insanity.
Aldous Huxley
Image
There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that is your own self. So you have to begin there, not outside, not on other people. That comes afterwards, when you have worked on your own corner.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Only one more indispensable massacre of Capitalists or Communists or Fascists or Christians or Heretics, and there we are in the Golden Future.
Aldous Huxley
Image
One seventh of your life is spent on Monday.
Aldous Huxley
