Alan W. Watts
“We suffer from a hallucination, from a false and distorted sensation of our own existence as living organisms. Most of us have the sensation that "I myself" is a separate center of feeling and action, living inside and bounded by the physical body—a center which "confronts" an "external" world of people and things, making contact through the senses with a universe both alien and strange. Everyday figures of speech reflect this illusion. "I came into this world." "You must face reality." "The conquest of nature." This feeling of being lonely and very temporary visitors in the universe is in flat contradiction to everything known about man (and all other living organisms) in the sciences. 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. This fact is rarely, if ever, experienced by most individuals. Even those who know it to be true in theory do not sense or feel it, but continue to be aware of themselves as isolated "egos" inside bags of skin.”
Alan Watts, The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are

“For eternally and always there is only now, one and the same now; the present is the only thing that has no end.4”
Alan W. Watts, The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are

Frank Herbert
“He learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It is shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult.”
Frank Herbert, Dune

Alan W. Watts
“Life and love generate effort, but effort will not generate them.”
Alan W. Watts, The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are

Samuel Beckett
“When you're in the shit up to your neck, there's nothing left to do but sing.”
Samuel Beckett
