"Better to have a short life that..." - Quote by Alan Watts

“Waking up to who you are requires letting go of who you imagine yourself to be”

“so, the whole idea, you see, is that everything's falling apart, so don't try and stop it. when you're falling off a precipice, it doesn't do you any good to hang onto a rock that's falling with you. see? but everything is doing that. and so, again, this is another case of our completely wasting our energy in trying to prevent the world from falling apart. don't do it. and then you'll be able to do something interesting with the free energy.”

“Everyone has love, but it can only come out when he is convinced of the impossibility and the frustration of trying to love himself.”

“"Face the brutes." That is a lesson for all life-face the terrible, face it boldly. Like the monkeys, the hardships of life fall back when we cease to flee before them.”

“The work of your life is to discover your purpose and get on with the business of living it out.”

“And O there are days in this life, worth life and worth death.”

“The great secret of true success, of true happiness, is this: the man or woman who asks for no return, the perfectly unselfish person, is the most successful.”

“Contentment with life is not a feeling, but it is a decision we must make. Contentment does not mean that we never want to see change or improvement, but it does mean we can be happy where we are and will do the best we can with what we have. It also means we will maintain an attitude that allows us to enjoy the gift of life.”

“One love, one heart . . . Let’s get together and feel all right”
