Alan W. Watts Quotes

The British And The Western Europeans In General, As Well As The North Americans, Waste The Space Of Their Homes With These Rooms For Ludicrously Vast Sleeping-machines
some With Four Pillars And A Roof, Some With Iron Fences At Each End, Topped With Brass Balls, And Some With Mahogany Headboards Whose Function I Have Never Yet Understood. I Would Rather Follow The Turkish Proverb That "he Who Sleeps On The Floor Will Not Fall Out Of Bed." In Sum, I Despise All Furniture As Monstrous, Heavy, Space-greedy, Expensive, And Pretentious.
