“In real life there is no such person as the average man. There are only particular men, women and children, each with his or her inborn idiosyncrasies of mind and body, and all trying (or becoming compelled) to squeeze their biological diversities into the uniformity of some cultural mold.”

English writer and philosopher

Aldous Huxley was an English writer and philosopher. He is known for a body of work that stretches across nearly 50 books, and includes nonfiction, essays, narratives, and poems. His writing ranges widely in form, which is part of why he is remembered as both a literary figure and a thinker. The breadth of his bibliography points to a career shaped by reflection, argument, and invention.
