Aldous Huxley
“Every individual is at once the beneficiary and the victim of the linguistic tradition into which
he has been born - the beneficiary inasmuch as language gives access to the accumulated records of
other people's experience, the victim in so far as it confirms him in the belief that reduced awareness is
the only awareness and as it bedevils his sense of reality, so that he is all too apt to take his concepts for
data, his words for actual things. That which, in the language of religion, is called "this world" is the
universe of reduced awareness, expressed, and, as it were, petrified by language.”
Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception & Heaven and Hell

Leo F. Buscaglia
“Don't hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from love.”
Leo Buscaglia

Leo F. Buscaglia
“...the opposite of love is not hate -- it's apathy. It's not giving a damn. If somebody hates me, they must "feel" something ... or they couldn't possibly hate. Therefore, there's some way in which I can get to them.”
Leo F. Buscaglia

Leo F. Buscaglia
“Find the person who will love you because of your differences and not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life.”
Leo Buscaglia

Aldous Huxley
“To be enlightened is to be aware, always, of total reality in its immanent otherness - to be aware of it and yet remain in a condition to survive as an animal. Our goal is to discover that we have always been where we ought to be. Unhappily we make the task exceedingly difficult for ourselves.”
Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception
