2
Power and wealth increase in direct proportion to a man's distance from the material objects from which wealth and power are ultimately derived. Aldous Huxley
3
We float in language like icebergs — four-fifths under the surface and only one-fifth of us projecting into the open air of immediate, non-linguistic experience. Aldous Huxley
4
Pleasure cannot be shared; like Pain, it can only be experienced or inflicted, and when we give Pleasure to our Lovers or bestow Charity upon the Needy, we do so, not to gratify the object of our Benevolence, but only ourselves. For the Truth is that we are kind for the same reason as we are cruel, in order that we may enhance the sense of our own Power.... Aldous Huxley
