Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are the dead. – Aldous Huxley
The nature of oratory is such that there has always been a tendency among politicians and clergymen to oversimplify complex matters. From a pulpit or a platform even the most conscientious of speakers finds it very difficult to tell the whole truth. – Aldous Huxley
You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad. – Aldous Huxley
It takes two to make a murder. There are born victims, born to have their throats cut, as the cut-throats are born to be hanged. – Aldous Huxley
