More quotes by Alan Watts
You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself.
Alan Watts
Wonder, and its expression in poetry and the arts, are among the most important things which seem to distinguish men from other animals, and intelligent and sensitive people from morons.
Alan Watts
In life as well as in art Zen never wastes energy in stopping to explain it only indicates.
Alan Watts
All that you see out in front of you is how you feel inside your head.
Alan Watts
There is no way of making a hedge grow like pruning it. There is no way of making sex interesting like repressing it.
Alan Watts
The morning glory which blooms for an hour differs not at heart from a giant pine that lives for a thousand years.
Alan Watts
There was never a time when the world began, because it goes round and round like a circle, and there is no place on a circle where it begins. Look at my watch, which tells the time it goes round, and so the world repeats itself again and again.
Alan Watts
But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.
Alan Watts
Many people never grow up. They stay all their lives with a passionate need for external authority and guidance, pretending not to trust their own judgment.
Alan Watts
The world is a marvelous system of wiggles.
Alan Watts
Chaos is always losing, but never defeated
Alan Watts
Things are as they are. Looking out into it the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.
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
We thought of life by analogy with a journey, a pilgrimage, which had a serious purpose at the end, and the thing was to get to that end, success or whatever it is, maybe heaven after you’re dead. But we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing or to dance while the music was being played.
Alan Watts
Do you have any control over being conscious? Do you know how you will?
Alan Watts
The menu is not the meal.
Alan Watts
A less 'brainy-culture' would learn to synchronise its body rhythms rather than its clocks.
Alan Watts
Change is an illusion because we're always at the place where any future can take us.
Alan Watts
A chest of gold coins or a fat wallet of bills is of no use whatsoever to a wrecked sailor alone on a raft.
Alan Watts
The soul is something which contains the body. The body doesn't contain the soul. The soul, if we put it into modern language, is the entire complex of relationships in whose context this organism exists.
Alan Watts
