Quote by Aldous Huxley

The only completely consistent people are the dead.

The only completely consistent people are the dead.

Summary

This quote suggests that consistency in behavior and beliefs can only be maintained by the dead, as they do not experience the changing circumstances and challenges of life. Unlike the living who must adapt and evolve in response to new experiences and information, the dead are unchanging and therefore consistent. It implies that inconsistency is a natural part of being alive, as individuals continuously learn, grow, and adapt their perspectives and actions based on the ever-changing nature of existence.
