But the nature of the universe is such that the ends never justify the means. On the contrary, the means always determine the end. - Aldous Huxley

Dualism... Without it there can hardly be good literature. With it, there most certainly can be no good life.

...the first question to be asked and answered in every contingency of life being: "How will this thought or action contribute to, or interfere with, the achievement, by me and the greatest possible number of other individuals, of man's Final End?"

"When we feel ourselves to be sole heirs of the universe, when "the sea flows in our veins...and the stars are our jewels," when all things are perceived as infinite and holy, what motive can we have for covetousness or self-assertion, for the pursuit of power or the drearier forms of pleasure?"
