Truth Quote by Aldous Huxley — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what happens to him.”

“Alas, higher education is not necessarily a guarantee of higher virtue, or higher political wisdom.”

“La filosofía nos enseña a sentir incertidumbre ante las cosas que nos parecen evidentes. La propaganda, en cambio, nos enseña a aceptar como evidentes cosas sobre las que sería razonable suspender nuestro juicio o sentir dudas.”

“He was a philosopher, if you know what that was.’”

“Maybe this world is another planet’s hell.”

“Mon Dieu, la vie est par trop moche.”

“Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness.”

“No one writes anything worth writing, unless he writes entirely for the sake of his subject.”

“Justice is itself the great standing policy of civil society; and any eminent departure from it, under any circumstances, lies under the suspicion of being no policy at all.”

It possesses these two aspects, the evil one of the two appealing to people capable of naïve hatred; but what is actually happening is that when you get natures stirred to their depths over questions which they feel to be overwhelmingly vital, you get the bad stirred up in them as well as the good; the mud as well as the water. It doesn't seem to matter much which sect you have, for both types occur in all sects....”

“I hear my silence talked of in every lane;”
