Huxley

Famous quotes containing the word huxley:

    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)

    If a little knowledge is dangerous, where is the man who has so much as to be out of danger?
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    The business of a seer is to see; and if he involves himself in the kind of God-eclipsing activities which make seeing impossible, he betrays the trust which his fellows have tacitly placed in him.
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
