More quotes by Alan Watts
How did you know you're alive, unless you'd once been dead?
Alan Watts
Faith is, above all, openness an act of trust in the unknown.
Alan Watts
Insecurity is the result of trying to be secure.
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

Alan Watts

Alan Watts
It takes time for an acorn to turn into an oak, but the oak is already implied in the acorn.
Alan Watts
To feel that life is meaningless unless “I” can be permanent is like having fallen desperately in love with an inch.
Alan Watts
The anitya doctrine is, again, not quite the simple assertion that the world is impermanent, but rather that the more one grasps at the world, the more it changes.
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
...the whole universe is through and through the playing of love in every shade of the word's use, from animal lust to divine charity.
Alan Watts
The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple.
Alan Watts
But at any rate, the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is.
Alan Watts
Duality is always secretly unity.
Alan Watts
You are the big bang, the original force of the universe, coming on as whoever you are.
Alan Watts
If you want to stay in a state of illusion, stay in it. But you can always wake up.
Alan Watts
Waking up to who you are requires letting go of who you imagine yourself to be
Alan Watts
Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.
Alan Watts
For the price of intelligence as we now know it is chronic anxiety, anxiety which appears to increase—oddly enough—to the very degree that human life is subjected to intelligent organization.
Alan Watts
Without birth and death, and without the perpetual transmutation of all the forms of life, the world would be static, rhythm-less, undancing, mummified.
Alan Watts
