Aldous Huxley Quotes

We Can Never Dispense With Language And The Other Symbol Systems; For It Is By Means Of Them, And Only By Their Means, That We Have Raised Ourselves Above The Brutes, To The Level Of Human Beings. But We Can Easily Become The Victims As Well As The Beneficiaries Of These Systems. We Must Learn How To Handle Words Effectively; But At The Same Time We Must Preserve And, If Necessary, Intensify Our Ability To Look At The World Directly And Not Through That Half Opaque Medium Of Concepts, Which Distorts Every Given Fact Into The All Too Familiar Likeness Of Some Generic Label Or Explanatory Abstraction.
