Aldous Leonard Huxley (July 26, 1894 – November 22, 1963) was an English writer and one of the most prominent members of the famous Huxley family. He spent the latter part of his life in the United States, living in Los Angeles from 1937 until his death in 1963. Best known for his novels and wide-ranging output of essays, he also published short stories, poetry, travel writing, and film stories and scripts. Through his novels and essays Huxley functioned as an examiner and sometimes critic of social mores, norms and ideals. Huxley was a humanist but was also interested towards the end of his life in spiritual subjects such as parapsychology and philosophical mysticism. By the end of his life Huxley was considered, in some academic circles, a leader of modern thought and an intellectual of the highest rank.
BRAVE NEW WORLD
I'm glad to join you. You and Ken Russell were an ideal combination with the release of THE DEVILS in 1971. The horror, the farce, the Vatican vaudeville, the lurid echoes of an exorcism in a public lavatory -- they are all there in both the film and in your book, THE DEVILS OF LOUDUN.
Aldous Huxley, I am really lucky to be among your friends... Your books had and still have a big influence in my life and art... You made a difference in this crazy planet... :)
"The perennial philosophy" has completely blown me away. If you are into the man and spiritually incined, this is one of the most important book ever written in my belief.Just brilliant and oh so inspiring... Nice page!
beware "totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations" Aldous Huxley (1959)
It is not possible for me to have any more respect for Mr. Huxley than I already do. The influence his ideas had on my life was profound and permanent. That is all.
You are forever in our minds and hearts. So happy for you to grace my page. Thank you...........Ur Friend Marsh Grass of the Hinterlands
