I didn't realize I had a club. I've been assuming I'm a solitary wayfarer.

Anyone who quotes Alan Watts to the extent you do surely can't consider himself a "solitary wayfarer"!

If I could say things as beautifully as he did, I wouldn't be quoting him.

 

 

I feel that way about Arthur Schopenhauer, although I hardly ever quote him. While I don't agree with his pessimism, no philosopher wrote with more clarity.

I would pick Nagarjuna.

Another tidbit about my quoting. It is a habit I have in my philosophical writings that gets carried over to here.
