Aldous Huxley Quotes

"The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior righteous indignation — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.""Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.""The propagandist's purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human.""The planetization of consciousness.""There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair.""Dream in a pragmatic way""We participate in a tragedy; at a comedy we only look""After all, what is a pedestrian? He is a man who has two cars - one being driven by his wife, the other by one of his children""Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards""Beauty is worse than wine; it intoxicates both the holder and beholder""The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence""To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries""There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving and that's your own self""Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted""You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you mad""Every man's memory is his private literature""Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness it is generally the by-product of other activities""The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age which means never losing your enthusiasm""There are quiet places also in the mind but we build bandstands and factories on them Deliberately to bar them out""Great is truth but still greater from a practical point of view is silence about truth"
