THINK: Alan Watts

"You can't be spontaneous within reason."


"But I'll tell you what hermits realize. If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you'll come to understand that you're connected with everything."


"Things are as they are. Looking out into it the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations."


"Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth."


Alan Wilson Watt (6 January 1915 - 16 November 1973) was a British philosopher, writer, and speaker.
