Alan Watts
  • How is it possible that a being with such sensitive jewels as the eyes, such enchanted musical instruments as the ears, and such fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain can experience itself anything less than a god.

  • But at any rate, the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is.

  • In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all.

  • The style of God venerated in the church, mosque, or synagogue seems completely different from the style of the natural universe.

  • The difficulty for most of us in the modern world is that the old-fashioned idea of God has become incredible or implausible.
