Aldous Huxley Quotes About Dying

Quotes about: Dying

• Now, a corpse, poor thing, is an untouchable and the process of decay is, of all pieces of bad manners, the vulgarest imaginable. For a corpse is, by definition, a person absolutely devoid of savoir vivre.

  Aldous Huxley

  Death, Dying, Decay

  Aldous Huxley

  Death, Ambition, Frustration

  Aldous Huxley (2002). “Complete Essays: 1939-1956”, Ivan R Dee

• Eating, drinking, dying - three primary manifestations of the universal and impersonal life. Animals live that impersonal and universal life without knowing its nature. Ordinary people know its nature but don't live it and, if they think seriously about it, refuse to accept it. An enlightened person knows it, lives it, and accepts it completely. He eats, he drinks, and in due course he dies - but he eats with a difference, drinks with a difference, dies with a difference.

  Aldous Huxley

  Drinking, Animal, Thinking

• Dying is almost the least spiritual of our acts, more strictly carnal even than the act of love. There are Death Agonies that are like the strainings of the Costive at stool.

  Aldous Huxley

  Spiritual, Agony, Dying

  Aldous Huxley (1983). “After Many a Summer Dies the Swan”, Harpercollins
