Alan W. Watts Quotes

[I]t Is Rather The Past And The Future Which Are The Fleeting Illusions, And The Present Which Is Eternally Real. We Discover That The Linear Succession Of Time Is A Convention Of Our Single-track Verbal Thinking, Of A Consciousness Which Interprets The World By Grasping Little Pieces Of It, Calling Them Things And Events. But Every Such Grasp Of The Mind Excludes The Rest Of The World, So That This Type Of Consciousness Can Get An Approximate Vision Of The Whole Only Through A Series Of Grasps, One After The Other.
