"Basically, there is simply nothing to worry..." - Quote by Alan Watts

“For if you know what you want, and will be content with it, you can be trusted. But if you do not know, your desires are limitless and no one can tell how to deal with you. Nothing satisfies an individual incapable of enjoyment.”

“It is also in despair of being able to understand or make any productive contribution to the highly organised chaos of our politico-economic system that large numbers of people simply abandon political and social committments. They just let society be taken over by a pattern of organisation which is as self-proliferative as a weed, and whose ends and values are neither human nor instinctive but mechanical.”

“The 'you' who you think you are does not exist.”

“Thou hast no figures nor no fantasies Which busy care draws in the brains of men; Therefore thou sleep'st so sound.”

“Some of the worst things in my life never even happened.”

“O polished perturbation! golden care! That keep'st the ports of slumber open wide To many a watchful night.”

“What is the body? That shadow of a shadowof your love, that somehow containsthe entire universe.”

“In the world's audience hall, the simple blade of grass sits on the same carpet with the sunbeams, and the stars of midnight.”

“A priori one should expect a chaotic world which cannot be grasped by the mind in any way... The kind of order created by Newton's theory of gravitation...is wholly different. Even if the axioms of the theory are proposed by man, the success of such a project presupposes a high degree of ordering of the objective world.... That is the "miracle" which is being constantly reinforced as our knowledge expands.”
