Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way.
Alan WattsEvery individual is a unique manifestation of the Whole, as every branch is a particular outreaching of the tree.
Alan WattsPerhaps there is no other knowing than the mere competence of the act. If at the heart of one's being, there is no self to which one ought to be true, then sincerity is simply nerve; it lies in the unabashed vigor of the pretense. But pretense is only pretense when it is assumed that the act is not true to the agent. Find the agent.
