What we need to realize is that there can be, shall we say, a movement, a stirring among people, which can be organically designed instead of politically designed.

More quotes by Alan Watts
To resist change, to try to cling to life, is therefore like holding your breath: if you persist you kill yourself.
Alan Watts
Nothing satisfies an individual incapable of enjoyment.
Alan Watts
Religion is not a department of life it is something that enters into the whole of it.
Alan Watts
It is obvious that the only interesting people are interested people, and to be completely interested is to have forgotten about I.
Alan Watts
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
If you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you'll spend your life completely wasting your time. You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living, that is to go on doing thing you don't like doing, which is stupid.
Alan Watts
What you do is what the whole universe is doing at the place you call here and now, and you are something the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is something that the whole ocean is doing... The real you is not a puppet which life pushes around. The real deep-down you is the whole universe.
Alan Watts
I knew of a physicist at the University of Chicago who was rather crazy like some scientists, and the idea of the insolidity, the instability of the physical world impressed him so much that he used to go around in enormous padded slippers for fear he should fall through the floor.
Alan Watts
Cows scream louder than carrots.
Alan Watts
These people, as far as I can see, do not congregate in the notorious centers of the movement, like the North Beach in San Francisco or Greenwich Village, or Venice, California.
Alan Watts
Increasingly, the world around us looks as if we hated it.
Alan Watts
Lack of awareness of the basic unity of organism and environment is a serious and dangerous hallucination.
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. They help him to use the world for purposes of his own devising rather than understand and explain it.
Alan Watts
Truly great companies are built on ideals, not just deals.
Alan Watts
Sex is no longer a serious taboo. Teenagers sometimes know more about it than adults.
Alan Watts
Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.
Alan Watts
We do not come into this world we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean waves, the universe peoples. Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe.
Alan Watts
For me, being literate and articulate is a form of judo, of overcoming the [system] by its own method.
Alan Watts
Parts exist only for purposes of figuring and describing, and as we figure the world out we become confused if we do not remember this all the time.
Alan Watts
If you cannot trust yourself, you cannot even trust your mistrust of yourself - so that without this underlying trust in the whole system of nature you are simply paralyzed
Alan Watts
