Aldous Huxley
Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely
consistent people are dead. -- Aldous Huxley
>From their experience or from the recorded experience of others (history),
men learn only what their passions and their metaphysical prejudices allow
them to learn. Aldous Huxley
Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what
happens to him. --Aldous Huxley
It is better to know some of the questions than all of he answers. Aldous Huxley
Julian Huxley
I use the word "Humanist" to mean someone who believes that man is just as
much a natural phenomenon as an animal or a plant; that his body, mind or
soul were not supernaturally created but are products of evolution, and
that he is not under the control or guidance of any supernatural being, but
has to rely in himself and his own powers.-- Julian Huxley
Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895)
The great end of life is not knowledge, but action. What men need is as
much knowledge as they can organize for action; give them more and it may
become injurious. Some men are heavy and stupid from undigested learning.
Thomas Henry Huxley
A man's worst difficulties begin when he is able to do as he likes. Thomas
Henry Huxley
