More quotes by Alan Watts
The psychotherapist ... tries to help the individual to be himself and to go it alone without giving unnecessary offense to his community, to be in the world (of social convention) but not of the world.
Alan Watts
... nets, grids, and other types of calculus.
Alan Watts
Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.
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
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
The difference between a baby and adult is that a baby believes in everything while the adult doubts everything. Babies also only tell the truth until they learn what a lie is.
Alan Watts
If we live, we live if we die, we die if we suffer, we suffer if we are terrified, we are terrified. There is no problem about it.
Alan Watts
A living body is not a fixed thing, but a flowing event, like a flame or a whirlpool.
Alan Watts
Cows scream louder than carrots.
Alan Watts
A paradox is only a truth standing on its head to attract attention.
Alan Watts
To perceive that form reveals the void, and to see that the void reveals form, is the secret for the overcoming of death. To the extent that one is unaware of space, one is unaware of one's own eternity — it's the same thing!
Alan Watts
Inability to accept the mystic experience is more than an intellectual handicap.
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
What was it like to wake up after having never gone to sleep? That was when you were born.
Alan Watts
In reality there are no separate events. Life moves along like water, it's all connected to the source of the river is connected to the mouth and the ocean.
Alan Watts
For a decision-the freest of my actions just happens like hiccups inside me or like a bird singing outside me.
Alan Watts
The trouble with many religions, accused of wishful thinking, is that they are not wishful enough. They show a deplorable lack of imagination.
Alan Watts
Some believe all that parents, tutors, and kindred believe. They take their principles by inheritance, and defend them as they would their estates, because they are born heirs to them.
Alan Watts
You are the big bang, the original force of the universe, coming on as whoever you are.
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
