Alan W. Watts Quotes

"In proving to ourselves that the universe is wholly explainable in terms of reason and logic,

we ourselves become anything but reasonable and logical."

“You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself.”

“I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.”

“This is the real secret of life -- to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. 

And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.”

"Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun."

“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.”

“The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. 

And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.”

I'm in a bad place,

but it's my place,

and it's in my comfort zone.

Which is, in most cases, Nothing
