Julian Huxley

“Life is just one damn relatedness after another.”

“The universe is not hostile, nor yet is it friendly. It is simply indifferent.”

“The human race is challenged more than ever before to demonstrate our mastery, not over nature but of ourselves.”

“Evolution is the most powerful and the most comprehensive idea that has ever arisen on earth.”

“The great end of life is not knowledge but action.”

“The sense of spiritual relief which comes from rejecting the idea of God as a supernatural being is enormous.”

“There is no separate supernatural realm: all phenomena are part of one natural process of evolution.”

“Sooner or later, false thinking brings wrong conduct.”

“The destiny of man is to be the sole agent for the future evolution of this planet.”

“Operationally, God is beginning to resemble not a ruler, but the last fading smile of a cosmic Cheshire Cat.”

“We are privileged to be living in a period of the universe's history when conscious awareness has reached a new and decisive level.”

“Humanism is the belief that man shapes his own destiny. It is a belief in the value and dignity of man.”
