Huxley

Famous quotes containing the word huxley:

“Books have their destinies like men. And their fates, as made by generations of readers, are very different from the destinies foreseen for them by their authors. Gulliver’s Travels, with a minimum of expurgation, has become a children’s book; a new illustrated edition is produced every Christmas. That’s what comes of saying profound things about humanity in terms of a fairy story.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

“Make up your mind to act decidedly and take the consequences. No good is ever done in this world by hesitation.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

“If human beings were shown what they’re really like, they’d either kill one another as vermin, or hang themselves.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
