Huxley

Famous quotes containing the word huxley:

    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)

    Pure Spirit, one hundred degrees proof—that’s a drink that only the most hardened contemplation-guzzlers indulge in. Bodhisattvas dilute their Nirvana with equal parts of love and work.
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    The world is neither wise nor just, but it makes up for all its folly and injustice by being damnably sentimental.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
