“Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.”

British novelist and philosopher of the early-to-mid 20th century, Huxley explored the intersections of science, spirituality, and human consciousness. His works—including *Brave New World* and *The Doors of Perception*—examined societal control, drug-induced perception, and the limits of human experience. He also wrote extensively on Eastern philosophy and the potential for psychedelics to expand awareness.
