Additional quotes by Alan Watts

[T]he less I preach, the more likely I am to be heard.

Ego is a social institution with no physical reality. The ego is simply your symbol of yourself. Just as the word water is a noise that symbolizes a certain liquid without being it, so too the idea of ego symbolizes the role you play, who you are, but it is not the same as your living organism.

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

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
