Alan Watts. Become what you are

-To see the moon you must forget the pointing finger, and simply look at the moon.
- The antidote to ignorance is not action but knowledge.
- The best is yet to be.
-The more I get pleasure, the more I must want it. To want pleasure it to lack it.
-To be delivered from futility, we must stop seeking.
-Human desire can gain nothing out of life. But to realize this is at once to become the sage, since the greatest wisdom lies on the other side of the greatest despair. It is, of course, more than despair -a joy, a sense of creative life and power. It must happen by itself.
-Awakening cannot but must not be induced by trying and willing, since anything that one could will would't be it.
-Almost every fundamental principle of life can be expressed in two opposite ways.
