"Society is our extended mind and body...." - Quote by Alan Watts

“This is the real secret of life -- to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.”

“For me, being literate and articulate is a form of judo, of overcoming the [system] by its own method.”

“... nets, grids, and other types of calculus.”

“The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society. ... There is little value in ensuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it.”

“The unchecked striving for more, for endless growth, is a dysfunction and a disease. It is the same dysfunction the cancerous cell manifests, whose only goal is to multiply itself, unaware that it is bringing about its own destruction by destroying the organism of which it is a part.”

“The very highest is barely known.Then comes that which people know and love,Then that which is feared,Then that which is despised.Who does not trust enough will not be trusted.”

“We can't escape from the world anymore; we can't escape from the mind. We need to enter surrender while we are in the world. That seems to be the path that is effective in the world that we live in now.”

“A mental stain can neither be blotted out by the passage of time nor washed away by any waters.”

“All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind.”
