Huxley

Famous quotes containing the word huxley:

“I can sympathise with people’s pains, but not with their pleasures. There is something curiously boring about somebody else’s happiness.”

“Perhaps dirt is the necessary condition of beauty.... Perhaps hygiene and art can never be bedfellows. No Verdi, after all, without spitting into trumpets. No Duse without a crowd of malodorous bourgeois giving one another their coryzas. And think of the inexpugnable retreats for microbes prepared by Michelangelo in the curls of Moses’ beard!”
