Quelques citations choisies dAldous Huxley. Concernant la première, je ne connaissait pas cette opinion de lauteur. La science pousse au cloisonnement alors que lart étend notre réalité. « From the internal reality, by which I means the totality of psychological experiences, it [science] actually separates us. Art, for example, deals with many more aspects of this internal reality than does science, which confines itself deliberately and by convention to the study of one very limited class of experiences — the experiences of sense. » « The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude. » « The original scriptures of most religions are poetical and unsystematic. » « Im afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery. » « Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. » « Jehovah, Allah, the Trinity, Jesus, Buddha, are names for a great variety of human virtues, human mystical experiences human remorses, human compensatory fantasies, human terrors, human cruelties. If all men were alike, all the world would worship the same God. » « The trouble with fiction… is that it makes too much sense. Reality never makes sense. » « That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach. »
