"To feel that life is meaningless unless..." - Quote by Alan Watts

“The world is filled with love-play, from animal lust to sublime compassion.”

“We know that from time to time there arise among human beings people who seem to exude love as naturally as the sun gives out heat.”

“Of course, you can’t force your mind to be silent. That would be like trying to smooth ripples in water with a flatiron. Water becomes clear and calm only when left alone.”

“You can't say life is useless because it ends in the grave.”

“A sense of concern for others gives our lives meaning; it is the root of all human happiness”

“Without love of something I don't know if you can have a meaningful life at all.”

“Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same. Every wonderful sight will vanish, every sweet word will fade, But do not be disheartened, The source they come from is eternal, growing, Branching out, giving new life and new joy. Why do you weep? The source is within you And this whole world is springing up from it.”

“There is nothing permanent except change. [Therefore enjoy what good you have while you have it and endure and outlast what bad you can't cure immediately]”

“Body is the name of a series of changes.”
