Quote: Aldous Huxley

“From pure sensation to the intuition of beauty, from pleasure and pain to love and the mystical ecstasy and death - all the things that are fundamental, all the things that, to the human spirit, are most profoundly significant, can only be experienced, not expressed. The rest is always and everywhere silence.

After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.”

from the essay ‘The Rest is Silence’ from Music at Night and Other Essays, 1931
