Most ignorances are vincible, and in the greater number of cases stupidity is what the Buddha pronounced it to be, a sin. For, consciously, or subconsciously, it is with deliberation that we do not know or fail to understand-because incomprehension allows us, with a good conscience, to evade unpleasant obligations and responsibilities, because ignorance is the best excuse for going on doing what one likes, but ought not, to do.

Aldous Huxley
Ignorance, Responsibility, Numbers
Aldous Huxley (2001). “Complete Essays: 1936-1938”, Ivan R Dee

I used to think I had no will to power. Now I perceive that I vented it on thoughts, rather than people. Conquering an unknown province of knowledge. Getting the better of a problem. Forcing ideas to associate or come apart. Bullying recalcitrant words to assume a certain pattern. All the fun of being a dictator without any risks and responsibilities.

Aldous Huxley
Bullying, Fun, Responsibility
Aldous Huxley (1955). “The Collected Works of Aldous Huxley”
