“Class
is an aura of confidence that is being sure without being cocky. Class has
nothing to do with money. Class never runs scared. It is self-discipline and
self-knowledge. It's the sure-footedness that comes with having proved you can
meet life. ”

“When
we are shown scenes of starving children in Africa, with a call for us to do
something to help them, the underlying ideological message is something like:
"Don't think, don't politicize, forget about the true causes of their
poverty, just act, contribute money, so that you will not have to think!”

“In
a society in which nearly everybody is dominated by somebody else's mind or by
a disembodied mind, it becomes increasingly difficult to learn the truth about
the activities of governments and corporations, about the quality or value of
products, or about the health of one's own place and economy.
In
such a society, also, our private economies will depend less and less upon the
private ownership of real, usable property, and more and more upon property
that is institutional and abstract, beyond individual control, such as money,
insurance policies, certificates of deposit, stocks, and shares. And as our
private economies become more abstract, the mutual, free helps and pleasures of
family and community life will be supplanted by a kind of displaced or
placeless citizenship and by commerce with impersonal and self-interested
suppliers...
Thus,
although we are not slaves in name, and cannot be carried to market and sold as
somebody else's legal chattels, we are free only within narrow limits. For all
our talk about liberation and personal autonomy, there are few choices that we
are free to make. What would be the point, for example, if a majority of our
people decided to be self-employed?
The
great enemy of freedom is the alignment of political power with wealth. This
alignment destroys the commonwealth - that is, the natural wealth of localities
and the local economies of household, neighborhood, and community - and so
destroys democracy, of which the commonwealth is the foundation and practical
means.”

“When

“When

not matter how much harder you work – the most you will make is 5 dollars.”

“If
you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you'll spend your
life completely wasting your time. You'll be doing things you don't like doing
in order to go on living, that is to go on doing thing you don't like doing,
which is stupid.”
―
Alan Watts
