Alan Watts

"What you took to be the thinker of the thoughts, is just one of the thoughts."

"For every inside there is an outside and for every outside there is an inside."

"This is the real secret of life - to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play."

"You didn't come into this world. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. You are no stranger here."

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

"You are not something that's the result of the big bang. You're not something that is a sort of puppet on the end of the process. You are still the process. You are the big bang, the original force of the universe."

"The most real state is the state of nothing."

"Nothing is more fertile than emptiness."

"If you didn't have space, you couldn't have anything solid."

"Nothingness is like the nothingness of space which contains the whole universe."

"You don't have first nothing and then something. Because of the inseparability of these opposites, they always go together. This, as it were, hints at some kind of unity which underlies them."
