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."
"Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic; it is merely a form of emotional masturbation…. It is the rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character affected for the worse by the practice of his profession. Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the process."
"Experience is not what happens to you, it is what you do with what happens to you."
"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."
"Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad."

"Hear me, four quarters of the world - a relative I am! Give me the strength to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is! Give me the eyes to see and the strength to understand, that I may be like you. With your power only can I face the winds."
"May every young scientist remember... and not fail to keep his eyes open for the possibility that an irritating failure of his apparatus to give consistent results may once or twice in a lifetime conceal an important discovery."
"It is not because angels are holier than men or devils that makes them angels, but because they do not expect holiness from one another, but from God only."
"No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings."
"Love seeketh not Itself to please, Nor for itself hath any care, But for another gives it ease, And builds a Heaven in Hell's despair. "
