More quotations from Aldous Huxley

One-third, more or less, of all the sorrow… [we] must endure is… inherent in the human condition, the price we must pay for being sentient and self-conscious organisms, aspirants to liberation, but subject to the laws of nature and under orders to keep on marching, through irreversible time… toward decrepitude and the certainty of death. The remaining two-thirds of all sorrow is homemade and, so far as the universe is concerned, unnecessary.

—Aldous Huxley
