Alan Watts: “The menu is not the meal”
This quote is either from an unrecorded source, or an amalgamation of the two quotes:
(1) “Money simply represents wealth in rather the same way that the menu represents the dinner,” from the lecture titled “Intelligent Mindlessness” (2) “We confuse the world as it is with.. the world as it is described.. And when we are not aware of ourselves except in a symbolic way, we’re not related to ourselves at all. We are like people eating menus instead of dinners,” from the lecture titled “Not What Should Be, But What Is”
