More from Aldous Huxley
After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
It is only by poets that the life of any epoch can be synthesized. Encyclopaedias and guides to knowledge cannot do it, for the good reason that they affect only the intellectual surface of a man’s life. The lower layers, the core of his being, they leave untouched.
Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you mad.
