A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready.

Like everyone else, you want to learn the way to win, but never to accept the way to lose - to accept defeat. To learn to die is to be liberated from it. So when tomorrow comes you must free your ambitious mind and learn the art of dying!

To express yourself in freedom, you must die to everything of yesterday. From the 'old', you derive security; from the 'new', you gain the flow.

If you follow the classical pattern, you are understanding the routine, the tradition, the shadow -- you are not understanding yourself.

The aim of art is to project an inner vision into the world, to state in aesthetic creation the deepest psychic and personal experiences of a human being. It is to enable those experiences to be intelligible and generally recognized within the total framework of an ideal world.

Now I see that I will never find the light Unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel, Consuming myself.

Moving, be like water. Still, be like a mirror. Respond like an echo.
