Alan Watts
If you want to stay in a state of illusion, stay in it. But you can always wake up.
Alan Watts
Playing a violin is, after all, only scraping a cat's entrails with horsehair.

The menu is not the meal.
Alan Watts
...the materialism of modern civilization is paradoxically founded on a hatred of materiality, a goal-oriented desire to obliterate all natural limits through technology, imposing an abstract grid over nature.
Alan Watts
Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.
Alan Watts
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.
Alan Watts

Alan Watts
The source of all light is in the eye.
Alan Watts
The fools standpoint is that all social institutions are games. He sees the whole world as game playing. That's why, when people take their games seriously and take on stern and pious expressions, the fool gets the giggles because he knows that it is all a game.
Alan Watts
All that you see out in front of you is how you feel inside your head.
Alan Watts
But at any rate, the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is.
Alan Watts
Naturally, for a person who finds his identity in something other than his full organism is less than half a man. He is cut off from complete participation in nature. Instead of being a body, he 'has' a body. Instead of living and loving he 'has' instincts for survival and copulation.
Alan Watts
The Highest to which people can attain is wonder and if the prime phenomenon makes them wonder, let them be content nothing higher can it give them, and nothing further should they seek for behind it there is the limit.
Alan Watts
At times almost all of us envy the animals. They suffer and die, but do not seem to make a problem of it.
Alan Watts
When you get free from certain fixed concepts of the way the world is, you find it is far more subtle, and far more miraculous, than you thought it was.
Alan Watts
But we try to pretend, you see, that the external world exists altogether independently of us.
Alan Watts
