"Of course, you can’t force your mind..." - Quote by Alan Watts

“No one's mouth is big enough to utter the whole thing.”

“Meditation is the way in which we come to feel our basic inseparability from the whole universe, and what that requires is that we shut up.”

“No amount of anxiety makes any difference to anything that is going to happen.”

“By thought I embrace the universe.”

“However inadequate our ideas of causal efficacy may be, we are less wide of the mark when we say that our ideas and feelings have it, than the Automatists are when they say they haven't it. As in the night all cats are gray, so in the darkness of metaphysical criticism all causes are obscure. But one has no right to pull the pall over the psychic half of the subject only . . . whilst in the same breath one dogmatizes about material causation as if Hume, Kant, and Lotze had never been born.”

“The intellect is vagabond, and our system of education fosters restlessness. Our minds travel when our bodies are forced to stay at home. We imitate; and what is imitation but the travelling of the mind?”

“I am rather inclined to silence, and whether that be wise or not, it is at least more unusual nowadays to find a man who can hold his tongue than to find one who cannot.”

“Each found her greatest safety in silence.”

“Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the river. Listen to the ocean.”
