Finding bad reasons for what one believes for other bad reasons - that's philosophy.

The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

The legs, for example, of that...

The legs, for example, of that chair--how miraculous their tubularity, how supernatural their polished smoothness! I spent several minutes--or was it several centuries?--not merely gazing at those bamboo legs, but actually being them---or rather being myself in them; or, to be still more accurate (for 'I' was not involved in the case, nor in a certain sense were 'they') being my Not-self in the Not-self which was the chair.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

Dedicated to all those who say...

Dedicated to all those who say: 'I don't have time for analytics' or 'I don't understand analytics'.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

Everyone thinks this way at so...

Everyone thinks this way at some point. The important thing is to power through and get to learning. If you really don't have the time Let Me Handle Your Analytics.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

Now, a corpse, poor thing, is ...

Now, a corpse, poor thing, is an untouchable and the process of decay is, of all pieces of bad manners, the vulgarest imaginable. For a corpse is, by definition, a person absolutely devoid of savoir vivre.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

Ignore death up to the last moment; then, when it can't be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh?

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

Liberty? Why it doesn't exist....

Liberty? Why it doesn't exist. There is no liberty in this world, just gilded cages.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

The poet's place, it seems to me, is with the Mr. Hydes of human nature.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

There are so many intellectual...

There are so many intellectual and moral angels battling for rationalism, good citizenship, and pure spirituality; so many and such eminent ones, so very vocal and authoritative! The poor devil in man needs all the support and advocacy he can get. The artist is his natural champion. When an artist deserts to the side of the angels, it is the most odious of treasons.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

For [D.H.] Lawrence, existence...

For [D.H.] Lawrence, existence was one continuous convalescence; it was as though he were newly reborn from a mortal illness every day of his life. What these convalescent eyes saw, his most casual speech would reveal.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

Isn't it remarkable how everyone who knew [D.H.] Lawrence has felt compelled to write about him? Why, he's had more books written about him than any writer since Byron!

The advertisement is one of the most interesting and difficult of modern literary forms.

Sleep is the most blessed and blessing of all natural graces.

The natural rhythm of human life is routine punctuated by orgies.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

Along this particular stretch ...

Along this particular stretch of line no express had ever passed. All the trains--the few that there were--stopped at all the stations. Denis knew the names of those stations by heart. Bole, Tritton, Spavin Delawarr, Knipswich for Timpany, West Bowlby, and, finally, Camlet-on-the-Water.

The snapshots had become almost as dim as memories.

People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.

Aldous Leonard Huxley 796 quotes

If you look up 'Intelligence' ...

If you look up 'Intelligence' in the new volumes of the Encyclopeadia Britannica, you'll find it classified under the following three heads: Intelligence, Human; Intelligence, Animal; Intelligence, Military. My stepfather's a perfect specimen of Intelligence, Military.
