Huxley

Famous quotes containing the word huxley:

    My belief is that no being and no society composed of human beings ever did, or ever will, come to much unless their conduct was governed and guided by the love of some ethical ideal.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    An ideal is merely the projection, on an enormously enlarged scale, of some aspect of personality.
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    Most lovers ... picture to themselves, in their mistresses, a secret reality, beyond and different from what they see every day. They are in love with somebody else—their own invention. And sometimes there is a secret reality; and sometimes reality and appearance are the same. The discovery, in either case, is likely to cause a shock.
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
