More quotes by Alan Watts
Playing a violin is, after all, only scraping a cat's entrails with horsehair.
Alan Watts
The life of Zen begins, therefore, in a disillusion with the pursuit of goals which do not really exist the good without the bad, the gratification of a self which is no more than an idea, and the morrow which never comes.
Alan Watts
Everything is perpetually becoming new.
Alan Watts
The Art of Being: A state of wholeness in which the mind functions freely and easily, without the sensation of a second mind or ego standing over it with a club.
Alan Watts
You and I are all as much continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean.
Alan Watts
To be silent is not to lose your tongue. On the contrary, it is only through silence that one can discover something new to talk about. One who talked incessantly, without stopping to look and listen, would repeat himself ad nauseam.
Alan Watts
But we must not suffer over the suffering.
Alan Watts

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
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
...for since there is no real 'way' to sartori, the way you are following makes very little difference.
Alan Watts
Life is not a problem to be solved, but an experience to be had.
Alan Watts
Stop measuring days by degree of productivity and start experiencing them by degree of presence.
Alan Watts
The only serious side-effect of # marijuana is that you might get arrested.
Alan Watts
You are that vast thing that you see far, far off with great telescopes.
Alan Watts
Nothing satisfies an individual incapable of enjoyment.
