Alan Watts

Oscar Wilde
“Humanity takes itself too seriously. It is the world's original sin. If the cave-man had known how to laugh, History would have been different.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Alan W. Watts
“Try to imagine what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up... now try to imagine what it was like to wake up having never gone to sleep.”
Alan Watts

Marilyn Monroe

Alan Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety
