“We do not “come into” this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean “waves,” the universe “peoples.” Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe.”
― Alan W. Watts, The Book on the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are

“Wonder, and its expression in poetry and the arts, are among the most important things which seem to distinguish men from other animals, and intelligent and sensitive people from morons.”
― Alan Wilson Watts, The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are

“We do not need a new religion or a new bible. We need a new experience—a new feeling of what it is to be “I.”
― Alan W. Watts, The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are

“Is there, then, some kind of a lowdown on this astounding scheme of things, something that never really gets out through the usual channels for the Answer—the historic religions and philosophies? There is. It has been said again and again, but in such a fashion that we, today, in this particular civilization do not hear it.”
