"Everything is perpetually becoming new...." - Quote by Alan Watts

“A chest of gold coins or a fat wallet of bills is of no usewhatsoever to a wrecked sailor alone on a raft.”

“The more we struggle for life as pleasure, the more we are actually killing what we love.”

“Our normal sense of the person as a lonely island of consciousness, is a dramatic illusion based on theological imagery.”

“We are chameleons, and our partialities and prejudices change place with an easy and blesses facility, and we are soon wonted to the change and happy in it.”

“Running water never grows stale.”

“To Time it never seems that he is braveTo set himself against the peaks of snowTo lay them level with the running wave,Nor is he overjoyed when they lie low,But only grave, contemplative and grave.”

“If by happiness you mean ecstasy ... Yes, I've known ecstasy, and it's a blessing to be able to say it because those who can say it are very few. But ecstasy doesn't last long and is seldom if ever repeated.”

“You have a life and there are these volumes on either side that go unvisited; some day soon as the world winds he will lie beneath what he now stands on, dead as those insects whose sound he no longer hears, and the grass will go on growing, wild and blind.”

“Reflect often upon the rapidity with which all existing things, or things coming into existence, sweep past us and are carried away.”
