Text Quotes
You are a function of what the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is a function of what the whole ocean is doing  (Alan Watts Quotes) The art of living... is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive  (Alan Watts Quotes) Like love, the light or guidance of truth that influences us exists only in living form, not in principles or rules or expectations or advice, however widely circulated  (Alan Watts Quotes) Life is like music for its own sake. We are living in an eternal now, and when we listen to music we are not listening to the past, we are not listening to the future, we are listening to an expanded present  (Alan Watts Quotes) I find that the sensation of myself as an ego inside a bag of skin is really a hallucination  (Alan Watts Quotes) The morning glory which blooms for an hour differs not at heart from the giant pine, which lives for a thousand years  (Alan Watts Quotes) Every intelligent individual wants to know what makes him tick, and yet is at once fascinated and frustrated by the fact that oneself is the most difficult of all things to know  (Alan Watts Quotes) We seldom realize, for example that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society  (Alan Watts Quotes) Try to imagine what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up... now try to imagine what it was like to wake up having never gone to sleep  (Alan Watts Quotes) Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence  (Alan Watts Quotes) When we attempt to exercise power or control over someone else, we cannot avoid giving that person the very same power or control over us  (Alan Watts Quotes) You will never get to the irreducible definition of anything because you will never be able to explain why you want to explain, and so on. The system will gobble itself up  (Alan Watts Quotes) In reality there are no separate events. Life moves along like water, it’s all connected to the source of the river is connected to the mouth and the ocean  (Alan Watts Quotes) Hospitals should be arranged in such a way as to make being sick an interesting experience. One learns a great deal sometimes from being sick  (Alan Watts Quotes) Our pleasures are not material pleasures, but symbols of pleasure – attractively packaged but inferior in content  (Alan Watts Quotes) Problems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way  (Alan Watts Quotes) Make a spurious division of one process into two, forget that you have done it, and then puzzle for centuries as to how the two get together  (Alan Watts Quotes) One is a great deal less anxious if one feels perfectly free to be anxious, and the same may be said of guilt  (Alan Watts Quotes) And people get all fouled up because they want the world to have meaning as if it were words... As if you had a meaning, as if you were a mere word, as if you were something that could be looked up in a dictionary. You are meaning  (Alan Watts Quotes) There is nothing at all that can be talked about adequately, and the whole art of poetry is to say what can’t be said  (Alan Watts Quotes) The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves  (Alan Watts Quotes) Philosophers, for example, often fail to recognize that their remarks about the universe apply also to themselves and their remarks. If the universe is meaningless, so is the statement that it is so  (Alan Watts Quotes) Zen is a liberation from time. For if we open our eyes and see clearly, it becomes obvious that there is no other time than this instant, and that the past and the future are abstractions without any concrete reality  (Alan Watts Quotes) What we have to discover is that there is no safety, that seeking is painful, and that when we imagine that we have found it, we don’t like it  (Alan Watts Quotes) Do not let the rapidity with which these thoughts can change deceive you into feeling that you think them all at once  (Alan Watts Quotes) If the universe is meaningless, so is the statement that it is so. If this world is a vicious trap, so is its accuser, and the pot is calling the kettle black  (Alan Watts Quotes) No one is more dangerously insane than one who is sane all the time: he is like a steel bridge without flexibility, and the order of his life is rigid and brittle  (Alan Watts Quotes) It is hard indeed to notice anything for which the languages available to us have no description  (Alan Watts Quotes) When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point  (Alan Watts Quotes) For if you know what you want, and will be content with it, you can be trusted. But if you do not know, your desires are limitless and no one can tell how to deal with you. Nothing satisfies an individual incapable of enjoyment  (Alan Watts Quotes)
