Science has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

It was one of those evenings ...

It was one of those evenings when men feel that truth, goodness and beauty are one. In the morning, when they commit their discovery to paper, when others read it written there, it looks wholly ridiculous.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

Amour is the one human activi...

Amour is the one human activity of any importance in which laughter and pleasure preponderate, if ever so slightly, over misery and pain.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

Words, words, words! They shu...

Words, words, words! They shut one off from the universe. Three quarters of the time one's never in contact with things, only with the beastly words that stand for them.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

Official dignity tends to increase in inverse ratio to the importance of the country in which the office is held.
