We are the eyes of the cosmos. So that in a way, when you look deeply into somebody's eyes, you're looking deep into yourself, and the other person is looking deeply into the same self.

More quotes by Alan Watts
It takes time for an acorn to turn into an oak, but the oak is already implied in the acorn.
Alan Watts
The question is not what I should do in the future to get it, but rather, what am I presently doing that prevents me from realizing it right now?
Alan Watts
So many people of wealth understand much more about making and saving money than about using and enjoying it. They fail to live because they are always preparing to live.
Alan Watts
That's a waste of time. If you really understand Zen... you can use any book. You could use the Bible. You could use Alice in Wonderland. You could use the dictionary, because... the sound of the rain needs no translation.
Alan Watts
Do not let the rapidity with which these thoughts can change deceive you into feeling that you think them all at once.
Alan Watts
There is a peculiar contradiction in trying to be a member of a republic while believing that the universe is a monarchy.
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
We must be careful that the business we build does not become mere busyness.
Alan Watts
Everyone is the fabric and structure of existence.
Alan Watts
If you insist on being determined by the past that's your game, but the fact of the matter is it all starts right now.
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
Don't hurry anything. Don't worry about the future. Don't worry about what progress you're making. Just be entirely content to be aware of what is.
Alan Watts
When you really understand that you are what you see and know, you do not run around the countryside thinking, I am all this! There is simply all this.
Alan Watts
What keeps us from happiness is our inability to fully inhabit the present
Alan Watts
If you are ready to wake up, you are going to wake up. If you're not you are going to stay pretending that you are just a poor little me.
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
How could you say the best form of government is a republic if you think the universe is a monarchy?
Alan Watts
To know that you are God is another way of saying that you feel completely one with this universe.
Alan Watts
The destination of life is this eternal moment.
Alan Watts
You can't live at all unless you can live fully now.
Alan Watts
