Image
Love your heart. It really is to love yourself to begin with and help everybody else in doing the same. But the heart being the center.
Laura Huxley
Image
I would much rather sit on the floor. Very rarely do I find a table and a chair that is comfortable. But the floor is comfortable.
Laura Huxley
Image
The practice of yoga certainly is a fantastic practice. I only wish I would do it more. I find I can do it alone but it is much better if I have some guidance. Although I can do it alone it is a little bit sloppy. Ultimately, all of those techniques try to bring more oxygen to the brain. We can think and love better if we have more oxygen.
Laura Huxley
Image
Power is just so much part of the human being because power is survival. But I wonder if that is the best way to survive, by killing someone else.
Laura Huxley
Image
Our emotions are ever-changing and infinitely varied, but the words with which we describe them are fixed and rigid. Our life is like quicksilver, our vocabulary like steel. Sometimes a consummate poet succeeds in rendering the quality of life in words. For the rest of us, this is not possible.
Laura Huxley

The art of living is simply the art of using energy in an intelligent and creative way.
Laura Huxley
Image
Healthy attention is to improve what can be improved and to accept what we cannot improve.
Laura Huxley
Image
The difference between a good medicine and a poison is the dosage.
Laura Huxley
Image
Since I was young my wish has been to die in perfect health - I mean to die with a body that is not destroyed by illness but a body that is consumed by its own long burning fire.
Laura Huxley
Image
Be a little kinder to each other.
Laura Huxley
Image
Beauty, well, it's one of the greatest, greatest gifts. I feel sorry sometimes because people are so worried and so involved in something that they don't have even five minutes to look at something beautiful.
Laura Huxley
Image
I think that, at least in my experience, it is difficult when there is unfinished work. That makes it difficult to think of dying when what you have to do is not quite done. Of course it's never quite done.
Laura Huxley
Image
The unequal distribution of food is one of the world's most tragic facts. Millions of people die because they have too little to eat, and many die because they have too much.
Laura Huxley
Image
The spine should be empty so that energy moves up and down. I always felt this way as a child.
Laura Huxley
Image
Very often mothers go to work right away after the child is born and, unless the father or someone else stays home, this is quite serious. A baby has to be near its kin most of the time when he is little for three, four or five years. To give him this grounding, this feeling of connection, this feeling of relationship, is the most important thing.
Laura Huxley
Image
Everything has to come through the senses, as though the soul is speaking out through the senses.
Laura Huxley
Image
They don't consider nicotine as a drug. Why don't they put it together with all the other drugs?
Laura Huxley
Image
You can focus your mind. You can respect your body. All of that is important.
Laura Huxley
Image
Morbid attention is when we focus only on the shortcomings that come with aging, which are inevitable, and think that everything that is wrong is a result of aging.
Laura Huxley
Image
Ignorance, according to the Buddha, is our basic difficulty. Psychedelics and the process of aging make that clear to me all the time.
