Aldous Huxley has been making the rounds in several blogs. First link in the chain appears to have been Ann Althouse's search for the source of an Aldous Huxley quote -
Huxley was never a seminal author for me though I did enjoy his works, particularly Brave New World, The Doors of Perception and The Perennial Philosophy. What impressed me most was not that that he might have the answers but rather that he seemed to embody the constant quester; always seeking and sort of issuing reports along the way.
"It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'Try to be a little kinder.'"Followed then by Kenneth Anderson's recollections of his reading of Huxley.
