All that happens means something; nothing you do is ever insignificant.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

It is because we don't know wh...

It is because we don't know who we are, because we are unaware that the Kingdom of Heaven is within us, that we behave in the generally silly, the often insane, the sometimes criminal ways that are so characteristically human. We are saved, we are liberated and enlightened, by perceiving the hitherto unperceived good that is already within us, by returning to our eternal ground and remaining where, without knowing it, we have always been.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

For the first time in the history of the world, Buddhism proclaimed a salvation which each individual could gain from him or herself, in this world, during this life, without any least reference to God, or to gods either great or small.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

Death is the only thing we hav...

Death is the only thing we haven't succeeded in completely vulgarizing.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

The present moment is the only...

The present moment is the only aperture through which the soul can pass out of time into eternity, through which grace can pass out of eternity into the soul, and through which love can pass from one soul in time to another soul in time.

We are not our own any more than what we possess is our own. We did not make ourselves, we cannot be supreme over ourselves. We are not our own masters.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

Every civilization is, among other things, an arrangement for domesticating the passions and setting them to do useful work.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

The thin and precarious crust of decency is all that separates any civilization, however impressive, from the hell of anarchy or systematic tyranny which lie in wait beneath the surface .

The more you know, the more you see

If we must play the theological game, let us never forget that it is a game. Religion, it seems to me, can survive only as a consciously accepted system of make-believe.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

Christianity accepted as given...

Christianity accepted as given a metaphysical system derived from several already existing and mutually incompatible systems.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

All conditioning aims at that:...

All conditioning aims at that: making people like their inescapable social destiny.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

There will be in the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

But the nature of the universe...

But the nature of the universe is such that the ends never justify the means. On the contrary, the means always determine the end.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

Words form the thread on which we string our experiences.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

Slowly, very slowly, like two ...

Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right; north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west; then paused, and after a few seconds, turned as unhurriedly back towards the left. South-south-west, south, south-east, east...

All right then,' said the savage defiantly, I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.' 'Not to mention the right to grow old and ugly and impotent; the right to have syphilis and cancer; the right to have too little to eat, the right to be lousy; the right to live in constant apprehension of what may happen tomorrow; the right to catch typhoid; the right to be tortured by unspeakable pains of every kind.' There was a long silence. 'I claim them all,' said the Savage at last.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

For particulars, as everyone knows, make for virtue and happiness; generalities are intellectually necessary evils. Not philosophers but fretsawyers and stamp collectors compose the backbone of society.

Those who feel themselves despised do well to look despising.
