Sixteen of Watts' books were cached locally and every claim on this page is traced to the words in them, by chapter and line, rather than to a quote site. Where a line everyone attributes to him is not in the texts, this page says so and does not print it as his. His writing on psychedelics and the modern clinical research on the same substances are kept in separate rooms, because he died in 1973 and none of that research is his.
