So long as men worship the Caesars and Napoleons, Caesars and Napoleons will duly arise and make them miserable.

Andru Huxley 44 quotes

Several excuses are always less convincing than one.

Andru Huxley 44 quotes

Perhaps it's good for one to suffer. Can an artist do anything if he's happy? Would he ever want to do anything? What is art, after all, but a protest against the horrible inclemency of life?

People intoxicate themselves with work so they won't see how they really are.

Andru Huxley 44 quotes

One of the great attractions of patriotism - it fulfills our worst wishes. In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully and cheat. Bully and cheat, what's more, with a feeling that we are profoundly virtuous.

Andru Huxley 44 quotes

My father considered a walk among the mountains as the equivalent of churchgoing.

Andru Huxley 44 quotes

My fate cannot be mastered; it...

My fate cannot be mastered; it can only be collaborated with and thereby, to some extent, directed. Nor am I the captain of my soul; I am only its noisiest passenger.

Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.

It's with bad sentiments that one makes good novels.

Andru Huxley 44 quotes

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.

Andru Huxley 44 quotes

It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'try to be a little kinder.

Andru Huxley 44 quotes

If human beings were shown what they're really like, they'd either kill one another as vermin, or hang themselves.

I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
