More quotes by Alan Watts
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
The wake doesn't drive the ship
Alan Watts
Sexual love is a troubled and problematic relationship in cultures where there is a strong sense of man's separation from nature, especially when the realm of nature is felt to be inferior or contaminated with evil.
Alan Watts
To go out of your mind once a day is tremendously important, because by going out of your mind you come to your senses. And if you stay in your mind all of the time, you are over rational, in other words you are like a very rigid bridge which because it has no give no craziness in it, is going to be blown down by the first hurricane.
Alan Watts
If we are not totally blind, what we are seeking is already here. This is it.
Alan Watts
No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.
Alan Watts
Every individual is a unique manifestation of the Whole, as every branch is a particular outreaching of the tree.
Alan Watts
Jesus was not the man he was as a result of making Jesus Christ his personal savior.
Alan Watts
Insecurity is the result of trying to be secure.
Alan Watts
We do not come into this world we come out of it, as leaves from a tree.
Alan Watts
Life and love generate effort but effort will not generate them.
Alan Watts
We live in a culture where it has been rubbed into us in every conceivable way that to die is a terrible thing. And that is a tremendous disease from which our culture in particular suffers.
Alan Watts
Religion is always falling apart.
Alan Watts
There is an ineffable mystery that underlies ourselves and the world. It is the darkness from which the light shines. When you recognize the integrity of the universe and that death is as certain as birth, then you can relax and accept that this is the way it is. There is nothing else to do.
Alan Watts
Cows scream louder than carrots.
Alan Watts
How did you know you're alive, unless you'd once been dead?
Alan Watts
There is a deep, peaceful calm in the dawning of a new day.
Alan Watts
We see what we believe rather than what we see.
Alan Watts
But at any rate, the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is.
Alan Watts
But I'll tell you what hermits realize. If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you'll come to understand that you're connected with everything.
Alan Watts
