All ALDOUS HUXLEY Quotes about “Chaos”

“Thatâ€™s what the human brain is there forâ€”to turn the chaos of given experience into a set of manageable symbols. Sometimes the symbols correspond fairly closely to some of the aspects of the external reality behind our experience; then you have science and common sense. Sometimes, on the contrary, the symbols have almost no connection with external reality; then you have paranoia and delirium. More often thereâ€™s a mixture, part realistic and part fantastic; thatâ€™s religion.”
“I am I, and I wish I weren't.”
“Generalities are intellectually necessary evils.”
“Given the nature of spiders, webs are inevitable. And given the nature of human beings, so are religions. Spiders can't help making fly-traps, and men can't help making symbols. That's what the human brain is there for - the turn the chaos of given experience into a set of manageable symbols.”
“Chaos and ineptitude are anti-human; but so too is a superlatively efficient government, equipped with all the products of a highly developed technology.”
