More quotes by 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
I am amazed that Congressmen can pass a bill imposing severe penalties on anyone who burns the American flag, whereas they are responsible for burning that for which the flag stands: the United States as a territory, as a people, and as a biological manifestation. That is an example of our perennial confusion of symbols with realities.
Alan Watts
All I'm saying is that minerals are just a rudimentary form of consciousness whereas the other people are saying that consciousness is a complicated form of minerals.
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
It's time to question a job or career move when it seems like most energy is devoted to making things appear other than what they really are.
Alan Watts
And the more you become aware of the unknown self - if you become aware of it - the more you realize that it is inseparably connected with everything else that is.
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
If a flower had a God it would not be a transcendental flower but a field.
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
When we look for things there is nothing but mind, and when we look for mind there is nothing but things.
Alan Watts
Courage is the goal of cowards.
Alan Watts
Nothing fails like success—because the self-imposed task of our society and all its members is a contradiction: to force things to happen which are acceptable only when they happen without force.
Alan Watts
If happiness always depends on something expected in the future, we are chasing a will-o'-the-wisp that ever eludes our grasp, until the future, and ourselves, vanish into the abyss of death.
Alan Watts
When one speaks of awakening, it means de-hypnotizatio n coming to your senses. But of course to do that, you have to go out of your mind.
Alan Watts
Increasingly, the world around us looks as if we hated it.
Alan Watts
The idea of the Universe being ruled by that marvelous old gentleman, is no longer plausible. It isn't that anybody has disproved it, but it just somehow doesn't go with the vast infinitude of the Universe.
Alan Watts
Lack of love for the vegetative, subtle, cthonic, pagan, and sexy aspect of the world means death.
Alan Watts
The meaning and purpose of dancing is the dance. Like music also, it is fulfilled in each moment of its course. You do not play a sonata in order to reach the final chord, and if the meaning of things were simply in ends, composers would write nothing but finales.
Alan Watts
The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple.
Alan Watts
When a man no longer confuses himself with the definition of himself that others have given him, he is at once universal and unique.
