A Good Servant, But A Bad Master

‎"A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts. So, he loses touch with reality, and lives in a world of illusions.

"By thoughts, I mean specifically, chatter in the skull. Perpetual and compulsive repetition of words, of reckoning, and calculating.

"I'm not saying that thinking is bad. Like everything else, it's useful in moderation: a good servant, but a bad master."

— Alan Watts
