More quotes by Alan Watts
Your soul isn't in your body your body is in your soul!
Alan Watts
Courage is the goal of cowards.
Alan Watts
What would you do if money was no object?
Alan Watts
Religion is not a department of life it is something that enters into the whole of it.
Alan Watts
What we have to discover is that there is no safety, that seeking is painful, and that when we imagine that we have found it, we don’t like it.
Alan Watts
If the earth is man's extended body, to be loved and respected as one's own body, those who do no greening of themselves will hardly bring about the greening of America. The idea of 'greening' involves color, flowering, freshness of spring, and, above all, respect for what is organic and vegetative as distinct from the mechanical and metallic.
Alan Watts
I want ... to consort with people whose emotions are not ... cold and standoffish.
Alan Watts
There is no formula for generating the authentic warmth of love. It cannot be copied.
Alan Watts
If you love a person, you say to that person, Look, I love you, whatever that may be. I've seen quite a bit of it and I know there's lots that I haven't seen, but still it's you and I want you to be what you want to be. And I won't be happy if I've got you in a cage. You'd be a bird without song.
Alan Watts
But at any rate, the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is.
Alan Watts
But we try to pretend, you see, that the external world exists altogether independently of us.
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
The reason we want to go on and on is because we live in an impoverished present.
Alan Watts
But at any rate, the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is. If you awaken from this illusion, and you understand that black implies white, self implies other, life implies death - or shall I say, death implies life - you can conceive yourself.
Alan Watts
You're not something that's a result of the big bang. You're not something that is a sort of puppet on the end of the process. You are still the process. You are the big bang, the original force of the universe...
Alan Watts
What keeps us from happiness is our inability to fully inhabit the present
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
So the bodhisattva saves all beings, not by preaching sermons to them, but by showing them that they are delivered, they are liberated, by the act of not being able to stop changing.
Alan Watts
How could you say the best form of government is a republic if you think the universe is a monarchy?
Alan Watts
Problems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way.
Alan Watts
