    Alan W. Watts
    “I鈥檓 a philosopher. If you don鈥檛 argue with me, I don鈥檛 know what to think. So if we argue, I have to say 鈥渢hank you,鈥 because owing to the courtesy of your taking a different point of view, I understand what I think and mean. So I can鈥檛 get rid of you.”
    Alan W. Watts, Out of Your Mind: Tricksters, Interdependence, and the Cosmic Game of Hide and Seek

    “To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.”
    Albert Camus

    Alan W. Watts
    “We seldom realize, for example that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society.”
    Alan Watts

    Alan W. Watts
    “Advice? I don鈥檛 have advice. Stop aspiring and start writing. If you鈥檙e writing, you鈥檙e a writer. Write like you鈥檙e a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there鈥檚 no chance for a pardon. Write like you鈥檙e clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breath, and you鈥檝e got just one last thing to say, like you鈥檙e a bird flying over us and you can see everything, and please, for God鈥檚 sake, tell us something that will save us from ourselves. Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we鈥檙e not alone. Write like you have a message from the king. Or don鈥檛. Who knows, maybe you鈥檙e one of the lucky ones who doesn鈥檛 have to.”
    Alan Wilson Watts

    “Try to imagine what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up... now try to imagine what it was like to wake up having never gone to sleep.”
    Alan Watts

    Alan W. Watts
    “The art of living... is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive.”
    Alan Wilson Watts

    Alan W. Watts
    “Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.”
    Alan Watts

  • #130
    Alan W. Watts
    “What we have forgotten is that thoughts and words are conventions, and that it is fatal to take conventions too seriously. A convention is a social convenience, as, for example, money ... but it is absurd to take money too seriously, to confuse it with real wealth ... In somewhat the same way, thoughts, ideas and words are "coins" for real things.”
    Alan Wilson Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety

    Steven Pinker
    “Challenge a person's beliefs, and you challenge his dignity, standing, and power. And when those beliefs are based on nothing but faith, they are chronically fragile. No one gets upset about the belief that rocks fall down as opposed to up, because all sane people can see it with their own eyes. Not so for the belief that babies are born with original sin or that God exists in three persons or that Ali is the second-most divinely inspired man after Muhammad. When people organize their lives around these beliefs, and then learn of other people who seem to be doing just fine without them--or worse, who credibly rebut them--they are in danger of looking like fools. Since one cannot defend a belief based on faith by persuading skeptics it is true, the faithful are apt to react to unbelief with rage, and may try to eliminate that affront to everything that makes their lives meaningful.”
    Steven Pinker, The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined

  • #132
    Steven Pinker
    “Morality, then, is not a set of arbitrary regulations dictated by a vengeful deity and written down in a book; nor is it the custom of a particular culture or tribe. It is a consequence of the interchangeability of perspectives and the opportunity the world provides for positive-sum games.”
    Steven Pinker, The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined

  • #133
    Steven Pinker
    “The doctrine of the sacredness of the soul sounds vaguely uplifting, but in fact is highly malignant. It discounts life on earth as just a temporary phase that people pass through, indeed, an infinitesimal fraction of their existence鈥he gradual replacement of lives for souls as the locus of moral value was helped along by the ascendency of skepticism and reason”
    Steven Pinker, The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined

    Alan W. Watts
    “When we attempt to exercise power or control over someone else, we cannot avoid giving that person the very same power or control over us.”
    Alan Wilson Watts, The Way of Zen

  • #135
    Alan W. Watts
    “We feel that our actions are voluntary when they follow a decision and involuntary when they happen without decision. But if a decision itself were voluntary every decision would have to be preceded by a decision to decide - An infinite regression which fortunately does not occur. Oddly enough, if we had to decide to decide, we would not be free to decide”
    Alan Wilson Watts, The Way of Zen

    “To travel is to be alive, but to get somewhere is to be dead, for as our own proverb says, 鈥淭o travel well is better than to arrive.”

    “This is the inevitable disadvantage of studying Asian philosophy by the purely literary methods of Western scholarship, for words can be communicative only between those who share similar experiences.”
    Alan Wilson Watts, The Way of Zen

    Alan W. Watts
    “For if we open our eyes and see clearly, it becomes obvious that there is no other time than this instant, and that the past and the future are abstractions without any concrete reality.”
    Alan W. Watts, The Way of Zen

  • #140
    Alan W. Watts
    “Reasonable鈥搕hat is, human鈥搈en will always be capable of compromise, but men who have dehumanized themselves by becoming the blind worshipers of an idea or an ideal are fanatics whose devotion to abstractions makes them the enemies of life.”
    Alan Wilson Watts, The Way of Zen

    Alan W. Watts
    “A world which increasingly consists of destinations without journeys between them, a world which values only "getting somewhere" as fast as possible, becomes a world without substance.”
    Alan W. Watts, The Way of Zen

    Alan W. Watts
    “As poets value the sounds of words above their meanings, and images above arguments, I am trying to get thinking people to be aware of the actual vibrations of life as they would listen to music.”
    Alan W. Watts, In My Own Way: An Autobiography

  • #144
    Alan W. Watts
    “For when you have really heard the sound of rain you can hear, and see and feel, everything else in the same way鈥攁s needing no translation, as being just that which it is, though it may be impossible to say what. I have tried for years, as a philosopher, but in words it comes out all wrong: in black and white with no color.”
    Alan W. Watts, In My Own Way: An Autobiography

    Marcus Aurelius
    “Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”
    Marcus Aurelius , Meditations

    Irvin D. Yalom
    “Whether I will live a long time or a short time, I鈥檓 alive now, at this moment. What I want is to know that there are other things to hope for besides length of life. What I want to know is that it isn鈥檛 necessary to turn away from thoughts of suffering or death but neither is it necessary to give these thoughts too much time and space. What I want is to be intimate with the knowledge that life is temporary. And then, in the light (or shadow) of that knowledge, to know how to live. How to live now.”
    Irvin D. Yalom, Creatures of a Day: And Other Tales of Psychotherapy

    Irvin D. Yalom
    “All of us are creatures of a day; the rememberer and the remembered alike. All is ephemeral鈥攂oth memory and the object of memory. The time is at hand when you will have forgotten everything; and the time is at hand when all will have forgotten you. Always reflect that soon you will be no one, and nowhere.”
    Irvin D. Yalom, Creatures of a Day: And Other Tales of Psychotherapy

    Clayton M. Christensen
    “Data is always an abstraction of reality based on underlying assumptions as to how to categorize the unstructured phenomena of the real world.”
    Clayton M. Christensen, Competing Against Luck: The Story of Innovation and Customer Choice

    Mark Manson
    “No, the opposite of happiness is hopelessness, an endless gray horizon of resignation and indifference.3 It鈥檚 the belief that everything is fucked, so why do anything at all?”
    Mark Manson, Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope
