About The Brave New World Interviews & Purports - Talks by Aldous Huxley

"There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self." "One of the great attractions of patriotism - it fulfills our worst wishes." "The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm." Aldous Huxley Aldous Huxley was an English writer and philosopher. He wrote nearly fifty books, both novels and non-fiction works—as well as wide-ranging essays, narratives, and poems. Born into the prominent Huxley family, he graduated from Oxford, with an undergraduate degree in English literature. Early in his career, he published short stories and poetry and edited the literary magazine Oxford Poetry, before going on to publish travel writing, satire, and screenplays. Huxley spent the latter part of his life in the United States, living in Los Angeles from 1937 until his death. By the end of his life, Huxley was widely acknowledged as one of the foremost intellectuals of his time. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature nine times and was elected Companion of Literature by the Royal Society of Literature in 1962.
