More quotes by Alan Watts
The menu is not the meal.
Alan Watts
We are at war between consciousness and nature, between the desire for permanence and the fact of flux. It is ourself against ourselves.
Alan Watts
The whole point of Zen is to suspend the rules we have superimposed on things and to see the world as it is
Alan Watts
Playing a violin is, after all, only scraping a cat's entrails with horsehair.
Alan Watts
If you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you'll spend your life completely wasting your time. You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living, that is to go on doing thing you don't like doing, which is stupid.
Alan Watts
Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way.
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
All that you see out in front of you is how you feel inside your head.
Alan Watts
Life and love generate effort, but effort will not generate them. Faith-in life, in other people, and in oneself-is the attitude of allowing the spontaneous to be spontaneous, in its own way and in its own time.
Alan Watts
Although profoundly inconsequential, the Zen experience has consequences in the sense that it may be applied in any direction, to any conceivable human activity, and that wherever it is so applied it lends an unmistakable quality to the work.
Alan Watts
Many people think that the Bible is the authentic word of God and they worship the Bible, making it an idol.
Alan Watts
The greater part of human activity is designed to make permanent those experiences and joys which are only lovable because they are changing.
Alan Watts
We seldom realize, for example that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society.
Alan Watts
The mundane and the sacred are one and the same.
Alan Watts
Everyone has love, but it can only come out when he is convinced of the impossibility and the frustration of trying to love himself.
Alan Watts
The 'you' who you think you are does not exist.
Alan Watts
Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.
Alan Watts
Jesus was not the man he was as a result of making Jesus Christ his personal savior.
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
Life and love generate effort but effort will not generate them.
Alan Watts
