Huxley

Famous quotes containing the word huxley:

    One of the great triumphs of the nineteenth century was to limit the connotation of the word “immoral” in such a way that, for practical purposes, only those were immoral who drank too much or made too copious love. Those who indulged in any or all of the other deadly sins could look down in righteous indignation on the lascivious and the gluttonous.... In the name of all lechers and boozers I most solemnly protest against the invidious distinction made to our prejudice.
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    Man is an intelligence, not served by, but in servitude to his organs.
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    If Men and Women took their Pleasures as noisily as the Cats, what Londoner could ever hope to sleep of nights?
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
