Huxley

Famous quotes containing the word huxley:

“At this very moment,... the most frightful horrors are taking place in every corner of the world. People are being crushed, slashed, disembowelled, mangled; their dead bodies rot and their eyes decay with the rest. Screams of pain and fear go pulsing through the air at the rate of eleven hundred feet per second. After travelling for three seconds they are perfectly inaudible. These are distressing facts; but do we enjoy life any the less because of them? Most certainly we do not.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

“I’m afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

“Idealism is the noble toga that political gentlemen drape over their will to power.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
