Huxley

Famous quotes containing the word huxley:

    Economy does not lie in sparing money, but in spending it wisely.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    People never will recollect that mere learning and mere cleverness are of next to no value in life, while energy and intellectual grip, the things that are inborn and cannot be taught, are everything.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    There are so many intellectual and moral angels battling for rationalism, good citizenship, and pure spirituality; so many and such eminent ones, so very vocal and authoritative! The poor devil in man needs all the support and advocacy he can get. The artist is his natural champion. When an artist deserts to the side of the angels, it is the most odious of treasons.
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
