Huxley

Famous quotes containing the word huxley:

    No slavery can be abolished without a double emancipation, and the master will benefit by freedom more than the freed-man.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    Thought must be divided against itself before it can come to any knowledge of itself.
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    Experience is not a matter of having actually swum the Hellespont, or danced with the dervishes, or slept in a doss- house. It is a matter of sensibility and intuition, of seeing and hearing the significant things, of paying attention at the right moments, of understanding and co-ordinating. Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
