Tom Robbins
“There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who believe there are two kinds of people in this world and those who are smart enough to know better.”
Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker

We read to know we're not alone.
“We read to know we're not alone.”
William Nicholson, Shadowlands: A Play

Alan W. Watts
“To remain stable is to refrain from trying to separate yourself from a pain because you know that you cannot. Running away from fear is fear, fighting pain is pain, trying to be brave is being scared. If the mind is in pain, the mind is pain. The thinker has no other form than his thought. There is no escape.”
Alan Wilson Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety

Alan W. Watts
“Tomorrow and plans for tomorrow can have no significance at all unless you are in full contact with the reality of the present, since it is in the present and only in the present that you live. There is no other reality than present reality, so that, even if one were to live for endless ages, to live for the future would be to miss the point everlastingly.”
Alan Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety

Alan W. Watts
“The clash between science and religion has not shown that religion is false and science is true. It has shown that all systems of definition are relative to various purposes, and that none of them actually “grasp” reality.”
Alan Wilson Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety
