Aldous Huxley

"Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean." Aldous Huxley

"It isn't a matter of forgetting. What one has to learn is how to remember and yet be free of the past." Aldous Huxley

"To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries." Aldous Huxley

"In the course of evolution nature has gone to endless trouble to see that every individual is unlike every other individual....Physically and mentally, each one of us is unique. Any culture which, in the interests of efficiency or in the name of some political or religious dogma, seeks to standardize the human individual, commits an outrage against man's biological nature." Aldous Huxley

"Addiction is an increasing desire for an act that gives less and less satisfaction" Aldous Huxley

"Higher education is not necessarily a guarantee of higher virtue." Aldous Huxley

"Every ceiling reached becomes a floor." Aldous Huxley

"The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own." Aldous Huxley

"The propagandist's purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human." Aldous Huxley

"No social stability without individual stability." Aldous Huxley

"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music." Aldous Huxley

"The goal in life is to discover that you’ve always been where you were supposed to be." Aldous Huxley

"The most valuable of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it has to be done, whether you like it or not." Aldous Huxley

"At this point we find ourselves confronted by a very disquieting question: Do we really wish to act upon our knowledge?" Aldous Huxley
