Alan Watts

“There is the love of life that throws itself wide open to every experience.”

“The more a thing tends to be permanent, the more it tends to be lifeless.”

“The future is a concept — it doesn't exist. There is no such thing as tomorrow. There never will be, because time is always now.”

“Memory never captures the essence, the present intensity, the concrete reality of an experience.”

“This is it.”

“There is nothing to be afraid of.”

“You are not separate from the totality. There is no totality without you.”

“The universe is a play, and we are the players.”

“Life is not a problem to be solved. It is a mystery to be lived.”

“The deepest knowledge is wonder.”

“To know reality is to remember it from within.”

“The whole universe is your body — yours.”

“There is no rush. There is nowhere else to go.”

“To dance is to be aware that the universe dances with you.”

“Things are as they are. There is no defect.”

“The more we try to control, the more life eludes us.”

“The Tao does nothing, yet leaves nothing undone.”

“To find balance, dance with chaos.”

“In our time we have learned to dread silence.”
