Victor Hugo quotes ~
• “Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.”
• “A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is a visible labor and there is an invisible labor.”
• “A creditor is worse than a slave-owner; for the master owns only your person, but a creditor owns your dignity, and can command it.”
• “Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol, but every human thought has its page in that vast book.”
• “Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.”
• “Habit is the nursery of errors.”
• “He who is not capable of enduring poverty is not capable of being free.”

Aldous Leonard Huxley
b. 7-26-1894; Godalming, Surrey, England
d. 11-22-1963; LA, CA

Aldous Huxley is best known as the author of Brave New World, a novel describing a utopian world where social stability is achieved and maintained by inducing a denial of reality through drug use and biological manipulation.

Accused of being anti-family and anti-Christian, Brave New World is an example of a work of fiction that anticipates developments in reproductive technology, biological engineering, and sleep-learning in the distant night-mare world (dystopian v utopian) where everyone is “happy”.

FYI - The title Brave New World comes from Shakespeare's The Tempest, Act V, Scene I. O, wonder! / How many goodly creatures are there here! / How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, / That has such people in't!

FYI - Aldous Huxley is the grandson of noted biologist and educator Thomas Henry Huxley.

Aldous Huxley quote ~
• “There will be in the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it.” Aldous Huxley, 1961 Speech given to the California Medical School
