Quotes to Remember

Aldous Huxley
(1894 - 1963)
"Folly is often more cruel in the consequences than malice can be in the intent."

"A country which proposes to make use of modern war as an instrument of policy must possess a highly centralized, all-powerful executive, hence the absurdity of talking about the defense of democracy by force of arms. A democracy which makes or effectively prepares for modern scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic."

"At least two-thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity: idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religous or political ideas."

"Maybe this world is another planet's hell."

Pensees Pascal
"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction,"
