Quotes

I used to think I had no will to power. Now I perceive that I vented it on thoughts, rather than people. Conquering an unknown province of knowledge. Getting the better of a problem. Forcing ideas to associate or come apart. Bullying recalcitrant words to assume a certain pattern. All the fun of being a dictator without any risks and responsibilities. Aldous Huxley
I'm thinking of a queer feeling I sometimes get, a feeling that I've got something to say and the power to say it -- only I don't know what it is, and I can't make use of the power. If there was some different way of writing...Or else something else to write about. Aldous Huxley
Aldous Huxley quote: "What we feel and think and are is to a great extent determined..."
What we feel and think and are is to a great extent determined by the state of our ductless glands and viscera. Aldous Huxley
Groups are capable of being as moral and inteligent as the individuals who form them; a crowd is chaotic, has no purpose of its own, and is capable of anything except inteligent action and realistic thinking. Assembled in a crowd, people lose their powers of reasoning and their capacity for moral choice. Aldous Huxley
Aldous Huxley quote: "... one reads, above all, to prevent oneself thinking."
... one reads, above all, to prevent oneself thinking. Aldous Huxley
