# The Perennial Philosophy  ## Metadata - Author: [[Aldous Huxley]] - Full Title: The Perennial Philosophy - Category: #books ## Highlights - For language, as Richard Trench pointed out long ago, is often “wiser, not merely than the vulgar, but even than the wisest of those who speak it.

In other cases it holds the germs of truths which, though they were never plainly discerned, the genius of its framers caught a glimpse of in a happy moment of divination.” ([Location 297](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B006IDURLU&location=297))
