Letter "A" » Aldous Huxley Quotes
«If it were not for the intellectual snobs who pay, the arts would perish with their starving practitioners - let us thank heaven for hypocrisy»

Author: Aldous Huxley (Critic, Novelist) | Keywords: died, dope, have died

«If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution -- then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise.»
«Too much consistency is as bad for the mind as for the body»
Author: Aldous Huxley (Critic, Novelist) | Keywords: consistency
«I can sympathize with people's pains, but not with their pleasures. There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.»

Author: Aldous Huxley (Critic, Novelist) | Keywords: novels, sentiments
