More quotes by Alan Watts

Alan Watts
There is always something taboo, something repressed, unadmitted, or just glimpsed quickly out of the corner of one's eye because a direct look is too unsettling. Taboos lie within taboos, like the skin of an onion.
Alan Watts

Alan Watts
You must not be afraid of playing wrong notes. Just forget it, play it wrong! But play!
Alan Watts
Chaos is always losing, but never defeated
Alan Watts
The greater the scientist, the more he is impressed with his ignorance of reality, and the more he realizes that his laws and labels, descriptions and definitions, are the products of his own thought.

Alan Watts

Alan Watts

Alan Watts
In Hindu philosophy the whole creation is regarded as the Vishnu Lila, the play of Vishnu. Lila means dance or play. Also in Hindu philosophy, they call the world illusion and in Latin the root of the word illusion is ludere, to play.
Alan Watts
The menu is not the meal.
Alan Watts
You can't live at all unless you can live fully now.
Alan Watts
To understand music, you must listen to it. But so long as you are thinking, “I am listening to this music,” you are not listening.
Alan Watts
Playing a violin is, after all, only scraping a cat's entrails with horsehair.
Alan Watts
The source of all light is in the eye.
Alan Watts
To be alive spiritually man must have union with God and must be conscious of it. Apart from this union his religious life will be an empty drudgery, a mere imitation of true spirituality.
Alan Watts
... nets, grids, and other types of calculus.
