Alan Watts
To define is to limit, to set boundaries, to compare and to contrast, and for this reason, the universe, the all, seems to defy definition....Just as no one in his senses would look for the morning news in a dictionary, no one should use speaking and thinking to find out what cannot be spoken or thought.
Alan Watts
Sex is no longer a serious taboo. Teenagers sometimes know more about it than adults.
Alan Watts
We must be careful that the business we build does not become mere busyness.
Alan Watts

Alan Watts
You are the universe experiencing itself.
Alan Watts
