"It was on Van Gogh, and the picture at which the book opened was “The Chair”— that astounding portrait of a Ding an Sich, which the mad painter saw, with a kind of adoring terror, and tried to render on his canvas. But it was a task to which the power even of genius proved wholly inadequate. The chair Van Gogh had seen was obviously the same in essence as the chair I had seen. But, though incomparably more real than the chairs of ordinary perception, the chair in his picture remained no more than an unusually expressive symbol of the fact."
The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell, Aldous Huxley
"I continued to look at the flowers, and in their living light I seemed to detect the qualitative equivalent of breathing—but of a breathing without returns to a starting point, with no recurrent ebbs but only a repeated flow from beauty to heightened beauty, from deeper to ever deeper meaning."
The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell, Aldous Huxley
"Istigkeit—wasn’t that the word Meister Eckhart liked to use? “Is-ness.” The Being of Platonic philosophy—except that Plato seems to have made the enormous, the grotesque mistake of separating Being from becoming and identifying it with the mathematical abstraction of the Idea."
The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell, Aldous Huxley
“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.”
The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell, Aldous Huxley
“In other words, each one of us may be capable of manufacturing a chemical, minute doses of which are known to cause profound changes in consciousness.”

" “What is the Dharma-Body of the Buddha?” (“The Dharma-Body of the Buddha” is another way of saying Mind, Suchness, the Void, the Godhead.)"

"(2) Visual impressions are greatly intensified and the eye recovers some of the perceptual innocence of childhood, when the sensum was not immediately and automatically subordinated to the concept. Interest in space is diminished and interest in time falls almost to zero."
The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell, Aldous Huxley
“We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes.”
The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell, Aldous Huxley
“But in certain cases communication between universes is incomplete or even nonexistent.”
The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell, Aldous Huxley
" it had always seemed to me possible that, through hypnosis, for example, or autohypnosis, by means of systematic meditation, or else by taking the appropriate drug, I might so change my ordinary mode of consciousness as to be able to know, from the inside, what the visionary, the medium, even the mystic were talking about."
The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell, Aldous Huxley
"My actual experience had been, was still, of an indefinite duration or alternatively of a perpetual present made up of one continually changing apocalypse."
The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell, Aldous Huxley
"This was the world—a poor thing but my own—which I expected to see transformed into something completely unlike itself."

“Literary or scientific, liberal or specialist, all our education is predominantly verbal and therefore fails to accomplish what it is supposed to do. Instead of transforming children into fully developed adults, it turns out students of the natural sciences who are completely unaware of Nature as the primary fact of experience, it inflicts upon the world students of the humanities who know nothing of humanity, their own or anyone else’s.”
The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell, Aldous Huxley
"Mescalin raises all colors to a higher power and makes the percipient aware of innumerable fine shades of difference, to which, at ordinary times, he is completely blind. It would seem that, for Mind at Large, the so-called secondary characters of things are primary. Unlike Locke, it evidently feels that colors are more important, better worth attending to, than masses, positions and dimensions."
The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell, Aldous Huxley
“Words are uttered, but fail to enlighten. The things and events to which the symbols refer belong to mutually exclusive realms of experience.”
