This world's no blot for us, Nor blank; it means intensely, and means good: To find its meaning is my meat and drink.
Quote by -Robert Browning
The difficulty for most of us in the modern world is that the old-fashioned idea of God has become incredible or implausible.
Quote by -Alan Watts
But we try to pretend, you see, that the external world exists altogether independently of us.
Quote by -Alan Watts
The whole point of Zen is to suspend the rules we have superimposed on things and to see the world as it is
Quote by -Alan Watts
You are something that the whole world is doing just as when the sea has waves on it.
Quote by -Alan Watts
The anitya doctrine is, again, not quite the simple assertion that the world is impermanent, but rather that the more one grasps at the world, the more it changes.
Quote by -Alan Watts
You, yourself, are the eternal energy which appears as this Universe. You didn't come into this world; you came out of it. Like a wave from the ocean.
Quote by -Alan Watts
And people get all fouled up because they want the world to have meaning as if it were words... As if you had a meaning, as if you were a mere word, as if you were something that could be looked up in a dictionary. You are meaning.
Quote by -Alan Watts
Without birth and death, and without the perpetual transmutation of all the forms of life, the world would be static, rhythm-less, undancing, mummified.
Quote by -Alan Watts
...mysticism and empiricism go together in opposition to scholasticism...they base themselves on the non-linear world of experience rather than the linear world of letters.
Quote by -Alan Watts
Paradoxical as it may seem, the purposeful life has no content, no point. It hurries on and on, and misses everything. Not hurrying, the purposeless life misses nothing, for it is only when there is no goal and no rush that the human senses are fully open to receive the world.
Quote by -Alan Watts
If the universe is meaningless, so is the statement that it is so. If this world is a vicious trap, so is its accuser, and the pot is calling the kettle black.
Quote by -Alan Watts
If, then, my awareness of the past and future makes me less aware of the present, I must begin to wonder whether I am actually living in the real world.
Quote by -Alan Watts
When you get free from certain fixed concepts of the way the world is, you find it is far more subtle, and far more miraculous, than you thought it was.
Quote by -Alan Watts
We think that the world is limited and explained by its past. We tend to think that what happened in the past determines what is going to happen next, and we do not see that it is exactly the other way around! What is always the source of the world is the present; the past doesn't explain a thing. The past trails behind the present like the wake of a ship and eventually disappears.
Quote by -Alan Watts
I don't even feel as if I'm the center of my own world, so how am I supposed to feel as though I'm the center of anyone else's?
Quote by -Nick Hornby
One could argue that most of the trouble in the world is caused by introspection.
Quote by -Nick Hornby
I come from an era, in my world, where you just had to define yourself as who you are and what you do. I happen to be an actor. I happen to be someone that loves to act, that also likes music, that also likes to speak, and that also has an opinion.
Quote by -Idris Elba
Conquer the world by intelligence, and not merely by being slavishly subdued by the terror that comes from it.
Quote by -Bertrand Russell
How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty?
Quote by -Bertrand Russell
Almost everything that distinguishes the modern world from earlier centuries is attibutable to science, which achieved its most spectacular triumphs in the seventeenth century.
Quote by -Bertrand Russell
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.
Quote by -Bertrand Russell
The world produces enough food for everyone. Why are one billion people going hungry?
Quote by -Orlando Bloom
Legolas in 'Lord Of The Rings' was sent as a bridge from his people into the world of dwarves and humans and wizards and everything else.
Quote by -Orlando Bloom
"Don't let the negativity given to you by the world disempower you. Instead give to yourself that which empowers you."
Quote by -Les Brown
"I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover's quarrel with the world."
Quote by -Robert Frost
"I turned to speak to God About the world's despair; But to make bad matters worse, I found God wasn't there"
Quote by -Robert Frost
"Some say the world will end in fire,/ Some say in ice./ From what I've tasted of desire/ I hold with those who favor fire./ But if it had to perish twice,/ I think I know enough of hate/ To say that for destruction ice/ Is also great/ And would suffice."
Quote by -Robert Frost
"The world is full of willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them."
Quote by -Robert Frost
"You would think that economy would be one of the easiest habits in the world to break but it isn't."
Quote by -Norman Vincent Peale
"Every youth owes it to himself and to the world to make the most possible out of the stuff that is in him..."
Quote by -Orison Swett Marden
