Love, Good Morning, Sexy
Alan Watts (2011). “In My Own Way: An Autobiography”, p.189, New World Library

If you love a person, you say to that person, "Look, I love you, whatever that may be. I've seen quite a bit of it and I know there's lots that I haven't seen, but still it's you and I want you to be what you want to be. And I won't be happy if I've got you in a cage. You'd be a bird without song."

Alan Watts
Love, Song, Bird

Alan Watts

Alan Watts
Love, Nature, Winning
