Pleasure cannot be shared; like Pain, it can only be experienced or inflicted, and when we give Pleasure to our Lovers or bestow Charity upon the Needy, we do so, not to gratify the object of our Benevolence, but only ourselves. For the Truth is that we are kind for the same reason as we are cruel, in order that we may enhance the sense of our own Power.

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

We cannot ask for more from any system; nor, if we seriously desire to alter human beings in a desirable direction, can we ask for any less.

Aldous Huxley
Giving, Desire, Relief
