Aldous Huxley

To be able to see things as they are, without illusion, is a rare and precious gift.

It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and to find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'Try to be a little kinder.'

The world is full of people who are trying to get to the top, but they don’t know where they are going.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

The more we know, the more we realize how much we don't know.

To be a man is to suffer, to be a woman is to suffer, to be a human is to suffer.

The human race is a race of slaves, and the only way to be free is to be a master.
