"Parts exist only for purposes of figuring..." - Quote by Alan Watts

“If you insist on being determined by the past that's your game, but the fact of the matter is it all starts right now.”

“The truth is revealed by removing things that stand in its light, an art not unlike sculpture, in which the artist creates, not by building, but by hacking away.”

“No worthwhile life can be lived without risks, despite current American superstitions to the contrary.”

“You people have no imagination!”

“The lesson intended by an author is hardly ever the lesson the world chooses to learn from his book.”

“The value the world sets upon motives is often grossly unjust and inaccurate.”

“To them, I said, the truth would be literally nothing but the shadows of the images.”

“It seems as if it is only through an experience of symbolic reality that man, vainly seeking his own “existence” and making a philosophy out of it, can find his way back to a world in which he is no longer a stranger.”

“In constructing concepts, we overlook the fact that no two things are the same. There is no such thing as the concept of a leaf, only billions and billions of leaves.”
