“We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies—all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes.”
― Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception

“There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.”
― Aldous Huxley

“What is love except another name for the use of positive reinforcement? Or vice versa.”
― B.F. Skinner, Walden Two

“An intellectual is a person who has discovered something more interesting than sex.”
― Aldous Huxley
