More quotes by Alan Watts
I too realize that the less I preach the more likely I am to be heard.
Alan Watts
Faith is a state of openness or trust.
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
You can't make love without art.
Alan Watts
Here is the vicious circle: if you feel separate from your organic life, you feel driven to survive survival -going on living- thus becomes a duty and also a drag because you are not fully with it because it does not quite come up to expectations, you continue to hope that it will, to crave for more time, to feel driven all the more to go on.
Alan Watts
If we are not totally blind, what we are seeking is already here. This is it.
Alan Watts
Religion is not a department of life it is something that enters into the whole of it.
Alan Watts
The Highest to which people can attain is wonder and if the prime phenomenon makes them wonder, let them be content nothing higher can it give them, and nothing further should they seek for behind it there is the limit.
Alan Watts
The power of memories and expectations is such that for most human beings, the past and the future are not as real, but rather more real than the present.
Alan Watts

Alan Watts
I was talking to a Zen master the other day and he said, You shall be my disciple.I looked at him and said, Who was Buddha's teacher? He looked at me in a very odd way for a moment and then he burst into laughter and handed me a piece of clover.
Alan Watts
The more we try to live in the world of words, the more we feel isolated and alone, the more all the joy and liveliness of things is exchanged for mere certainty and security. On the other hand, the more we are forced to admit that we actually live in the real world, the more we feel ignorant, uncertain, and insecure about everything.
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
Philosophers, for example, often fail to recognize that their remarks about the universe apply also to themselves and their remarks. If the universe is meaningless, so is the statement that it is so.
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
We do not come into this world we come out of it, as leaves from a tree.
Alan Watts
You must not be afraid of playing wrong notes. Just forget it, play it wrong! But play!
Alan Watts
No amount of anxiety makes any difference to anything that is going to happen.
Alan Watts
Faith is, above all, openness an act of trust in the unknown.
Alan Watts
They are enlightened who join in this play knowing it as play, for people suffer only because they take as serious what the gods made for fun.
Alan Watts
