Alan Watts Quotes
- One is that what
is happening is happening to him, and therefore he is the victim of
circumstances. But when you are in primal ignorance there is no you
different from what is happening, and therefore it is not happening
to you.
Alan
Watts Quote
- It is part of
the happening, and you are part of the universe, although strictly speaking
the universe has no parts. We only call certain features of the universe
parts.
Alan
Watts Quote
- What we call the
future is nothing, the great void, and everything comes out of the great
void.
Alan
Watts Quote
- If you shut your
eyes, and contemplate reality only with your ears, you will find there
is a background of silence, and all sounds are coming out of it. They
start out of silence.
Alan
Watts Quote
- It is very simple;
it all begins now, and therefore it is spontaneous. It isn't determined;
that is a philosophical notion.
Alan
Watts Quote
- The tao is a certain
kind of order, and this kind of order is not quite what we call order
when we arrange everything geometrically in boxes, or in rows.
Alan
Watts Quote
- Everybody wants
to get to the top of the tree, but then if they do the tree will collapse.
That is the fallacy of American society.
Alan
Watts Quote
- Well, from a superficial
point of view I would suggest that a certain amount of passivity would
be an excellent corrective for our kind of culture because we are always
creating trouble by doing good to other people.
Alan
Watts Quote
- Listen to your
chattering thoughts as you would listen to the singing of a kettle.
Alan
Watts Quote
- The narrow slit
in the fence is much like the way in which we look at life by conscious
attention, for when we attend to something we ignore everything else.
Attention is narrowed perception.
Alan
Watts Quote
- So far as we know,
animals do not live in constant anxiety about sickness and death, as
we do, because they live in the present.
