Huxley

Famous quotes containing the word huxley:

    Misery is a match that never goes out.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)

    The innocence of those who grind the faces of the poor, but refrain from pinching the bottoms of their neighbour’s wives! The innocence of Ford, the innocence of Rockefeller! The nineteenth century was the Age of Innocence—that sort of innocence. With the result that we’re now almost ready to say that a man is seldom more innocently employed than when making love.
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
