"You are the universe experiencing itself...." - Quote by Alan Watts

“This-the immediate, everyday, and present experience-is IT, the entire and ultimate point for the existence of a universe.”

“We do not "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean "waves," the universe "peoples." Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe.”

“If, then, my awareness of the past and future makes me less aware of the present, I must begin to wonder whether I am actually living in the real world.”

“Every man is his own hell.”

“The fish in the water is silent, the animals on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing. But man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the music of the air.”

“I am myself by inclination an investigator.”

“...behind all the discernible laws and connections, there remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable.”

“There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”

“Man is only a reed, the weakest in nature, but he is a thinking reed. There is no need for the whole universe to take up arms to crush him: a vapour, a drop of water is enough to kill him. but even if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than his slayer, because he knows that he is dying and the advantage the universe has over him. The universe knows none of this.”
