In My Own Way: An Autobiography

by Alan W. Watts

I have realized that the past and the future are real illusions, that they exist only in the present, which is what there is and all that there is.

One of the most intelligent, pleasant, and scholarly men I know devotes himself to the creed that a noble human life is simply courage in the face of inevitable disaster and annihilation.

I am gregarious, but I like to be left alone.
