From Chrome Yellow - Huxley's First Novel

 

 Aldous Huxley

"The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats."

In 1921, Chatto & Windus published Aldous Huxley's first novel, titled Crome Yellow.
