"If we are not totally blind, what..." - Quote by Alan Watts

“Nothing satisfies an individual incapable of enjoyment.”

“And the more you become aware of the unknown self - if you become aware of it - the more you realize that it is inseparably connected with everything else that is.”

“Just as true humor is laughter at oneself, true humanity is knowledge of oneself.”

“Maybe you are searching among the branches, for what only appears in the roots.”

“There was once in man a true happiness of which there now remain to him only the mark and empty trace, which he in vain tries to fill from all his surroundings, seeking from things absent the help he does not obtain in things present.”

“I've said before that every craftsman searches for what's not there to practice his craft.”

“O YOU whom I often and silently come where you are, that I may be with you; As I walk by your side, or sit near, or remain in the same room with you, Little you know the subtle electric fire that for your sake is playing within me.”

“Pay attention to the gap - the gap between two thoughts, the brief, silent space between words in a conversation, between the notes of a piano or flute, or the gap between the in-breath and the out-breath. When you pay attention to those gaps, awareness of 'something' becomes - just awareness. The formless dimension of pure conciousness arises from within you and replaces identification with form.”

“Whatever you do, whatever you're working with, whether it's manual work or talking to people or buying or selling, every little thing encompasses the power and simplicity of presence.”
