Quotes:
Martha: [about their robbery victim] Zoe, I can't stop thinking about that man.::Zoe: Yeah. I know. We're never really dead or alive; we just exist. So he's still existing, but it's in a parallel time. Just don't think about it.
Martha: Is it true married people don't fuck?
Lucy: I'm her only family, you know. She needs to know that she can depend on me right now. It's complicated.::Ted: As complicated as it might be, we can't ignore the fact that her behavior is fucking insane.
Lucy: We're trying to have a family and I don't feel safe with you here.::Martha: Lucy?::Lucy: What? [louder] What?::Martha: You're gonna be a terrible mother.
[first lines]::Watts: [as Martha runs away] Marcy! Marcy May! Where ya goin'?
Ted: [as Martha skinny dips] That's an interesting choice of swimwear.
Lucy: Why would you think it's okay to come in here like that?::Martha: I don't know. It's a big bed. You guys were on the other side.::Lucy: You can't come into our room when we're having sex. That's not normal. It's private.::Martha: Sorry.::Lucy: You don't need to apologize. Just - I need you to understand why it's not okay.::Martha: Okay.::Lucy: Do you?::Martha: Yeah.::Lucy: Well?::Martha: Because it's private and not normal.::Lucy: Oh, God.
Martha: [to Lucy] Just because we're sisters doesn't mean we need to talk about everything that comes into your head!
Patrick: You know that death is the most beautiful part of life, right? Death is beautiful because we all fear death. And fear is the most amazing emotion of all because it creates complete awareness. It brings you to now, and it makes you truly present. And when you're truly present, that's nirvana. That's pure love. So death is pure love.
Martha: I am a teacher and a leader.

Alan Watts ~ Society As A Matrix ,Part 2
Alan Watts (Jan 6,
1915 –
Nov 16,
1973) was a philosopher known for opening
Western minds to Eastern wisdom. He called himself an entertainer, rather than a guru or teacher, and encouraged a dialogue that is increasingly relevant in the spectrum of current events. Intertwined with stunning scholarship, his buoyant humor resounds, linking many of us to the collective unconscious.
Today,
101 years after his birth, I’m sharing 101 quotes that have deeply impacted my understanding of the human experience.

Alan Watts ~ Meditation ~ The Key To Freedom
To understand the whole process of oneself requires constant alertness, awareness, in the action of relationship. There must be a constant watching of every incident, without choice, without condemnation or acceptance, with a certain sense of dispassion, so that the truth of every incident is revealed. But this self-knowledge is not a result, an end. There is no end to self-knowledge; it is a constant process of understanding, which comes about only when one begins objectively and goes deeper and deeper into the whole problem of daily living, which is the 'you' and the 'me' in relationship.

Alan Watts ~ The Space (Universe) You Don`t See Within You
Self-Knowledge Is a
Process
So, to understand the innumerable problems that each one of us has, is it not essential that there be self-knowledge? And that is one of the most difficult things, self-awareness - which does not mean an isolation, a withdrawal.
Obviously, to know oneself is essential; but to know oneself does not imply a withdrawal from relationship. And it would be a mistake, surely, to think that one can know oneself significantly, completely, fully, through isolation, through exclusion, or by going to some psychologist, or to some
priest; or that one can learn self-knowledge through a book.
Self-knowledge is obviously a process, not an end in itself; and to know oneself, one must be aware of oneself in action, which is relationship. You discover yourself, not in isolation, n

Listening is an action in which the miracle of understanding takes place
If I may turn aside for a moment, I think it is important to understand what it means to listen, for then, perhaps, what is being said will have a meaning beyond the words. It seems to me that very few of us ever do listen. We do not know how to listen. I wonder if you have ever really listened to your child, to your wife or husband, or to a bird? I wonder if you have ever listened to the mind as it watches a sunset, or if you have read a poem with an attitude of listening? If we know how to listen, that very listening is an action in which the miracle of understanding takes place.

“This is the real secret of life—to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.”
“The actual trouble is that profit is identified entirely with money, as distinct from the real profit of living with dignity and elegance in beautiful surroundings.” ~

It is futile to fight one habit by another habit
Questioner:
If I understand you rightly, awareness alone and by itself is sufficient to dissolve both the conflict and the source of it.
I am perfectly aware, and have been for a long time, that I am 'snobbish.' What prevents my getting rid of snobbishness?Krishnamurti: The questioner has not understood what I mean by awareness. If you have a habit, the habit of snobbishness for instance, it is no good merely to overcome this habit by another, its opposite. It is futile to fight one habit by another habit. What rids the mind of habit is intelligence.
Awareness is the process of awakening intelligence, not creating new habits to fight the old ones. So, you must become conscious of your habits of thought, but do not try to develop opposite qualities or habits. If you are fully aware, if you are in that state of choiceless observation, then you will perceive the whole process of creating a habit and also the opposite process of overcoming it. This discernment awakens intelligence, which does away with all habits of thought.
We are eager to get rid of those habits which give us pain or which we have found to be worthless, by creating other habits of thought and assertions. This process of substitution is wholly unintelligent. If you will observe you will find that mind is nothing but a mass of habits of thought and memories. By merely overcoming these habits by others, the mind still remains in prison, confused and suffering. It is only when we deeply comprehend the process of self-protective reactions, which become habits of thought, limiting all action, that there is a possibility of awakening intelligence, which alone can dissolve the conflict of opposites. - Krishnamurti,
