Modern mans besetting temptation is to sacrifice his direct perceptions and spontaneous feelings to his reasoned reflections; to prefer in all circumstances the verdict of his intellect to that of his immediate intuitions. – Aldous Huxley
Words, words, words! They shut one off from the universe. Three quarters of the time ones never in contact with things, only with the beastly words that stand for them. – Aldous Huxley
