Alan W. Watts Quotes
We Do Not Feel That Ordinarily, Do We? What We Feel, Instead, Is An Identification Of Ourselves With Our Ideas Of Ourselves - I Would Rather Say, With Our Image Of Ourselves. That Is The Person, Or The Ego. You Play A Role; You Identify With That Role. I Play A Role Called Alan Watts. And I Know Very Well That It Is A Big Act. I Can Play Some Other Roles Besides Alan Watts If Necessary, But I Find This One Is Best For Making A Living. But I Assure You That Is A Mask And I Do Not Take It Seriously. The Idea Of My Being A Kind Of Guru, Or Savior Of The World Just Breaks Me Up, Because I Know Me. Besides, It Is Very Difficult To Be Holy, In The Ordinary Sense.
