Top 5 quotes from Aldous Leonard Huxley
"We are long before we are convinced that happiness is never to be found, and each believes it possessed by others, to keep alive the hope of obtaining it for himself."

"Experience is not what happens to you, it is what you do with what happens to you."
"Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad."
"Maybe this world is another planet's hell."
