Aldous Huxley

Maybe this world is another planet's hell.

A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.

All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.

Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.

The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and yet everything is completely different.

Every man who knows how to read has it in his power to magnify himself, to multiply the ways in which he exists, to make his life full, significant and interesting.

To his dog, every man is Napoleon; hence the constant popularity of dogs.

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

If human beings were shown what they're really like, they'd either kill one another as vermin, or hang themselves.
