If you want to write, keep cats.

If you want to be a psychological novelist and write about human beings, the best thing you can do is keep a pair of cats.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

No man ever dared to manifest his boredom so insolently as does a Siamese tomcat when he yawns in the face of his amorously importunate wife.

Faith may be relied upon to produce sustained action and, more rarely, sustained contemplation.

Those who meant well behaved in the same way as those who meant badly.

You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. . . . Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat's meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

If the men of the Middle Ages....

If the men of the Middle Ages... lived in filth and discomfort, it was not for any lack of ability to change their mode of life; it was because they chose to live this way, because filth and discomfort fitted in with their principles and prejudices, political, moral, and religious.... It was in the power of medieval... craftsmen to create armchairs and sofas that might have rivaled in comfort those of today

Dictators can always consolidate their tyranny by an appeal to patriotism.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

The older dictators fell because they could never supply their subjects with enough bread, enough circuses, enough miracles, and mysteries. Under a scientific dictatorship, education will really work' with the result that most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution. There seems to be no good reason why a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown.

When truth is nothing but truth, it's unnatural, it's an abstraction that resembles nothing in the real world.

One of the great attractions of patriotism

Every gain made by individuals or society is almost instantly taken for granted.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

Reality cannot be ignored except at a price; and the longer the ignorance is persisted in, the higher and more terrible becomes the price that must be paid.

Why should human females become sterile in their forties, while female crocodiles continue to lay eggs into their third century?

Grace is always sufficient, provided we are ready to cooperate with it.

Industrialization is the systemic exploitation of wasting assets. In all too many cases, the thing we call progress is merely an acceleration in the rate of that exploitation.

Art is one of the means whereby man seeks to redeem a life which is experienced as chaotic, senseless, and largely evil.

What the rest of us see only under the influence of mescalin, the artist is congenitally equipped to see all the time.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

Every significant artist is a metaphysician, a propounder of beauty-truths and form-theories.
