Alan Watts quotes

Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.

You are that vast thing that you see far, far off with great telescopes.

No amount of anxiety makes any difference to anything that is going to happen.

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.

this is the real secret of life: to be completely engaged with what you’re doing in the here and now, and instead of calling it work, realize that this is play.

Don’t be afraid. You’re going to make it, but it’s always going to feel as if you’re not. That’s the fun, you see!

Hurry, and all that it involves, is fatal.

One is a great deal less anxious if one feels perfectly free to be anxious, and the same may be said of guilt.

There is no hurry, and in a way there is no future. It is all here — so take it easy, take your time, and get acquainted with it.

If you make where you are going more important than where you are, there may be no point in going.

Stay in the center, and you will be ready to move in any direction.

Faith is, above all, openness; an act of trust in the unknown.
