Alan W. Watts Quotes

The More We Accustom Ourselves To Understanding The Present In Terms Of Memory, The Unknown By The Known, The Living By The Dead, The More Desiccated And Embalmed, The More Joyless And Frustrated Life Becomes. So Protected From Life, Man Becomes A Sort Of Mollusc Encrusted In A Hard Shell Of "tradition," So That When At Last Reality Breaks Through, As It Must, The Tide Of Pent-up Fear Runs Wild.
