To live is to express, and to express you have to create. Creation is never merely repetition. To live is to express oneself freely in creation.

The reward is found in the work.

It is better to live as a broken piece of jade, than to live as a useless clay.

If I should die tomorrow, I will have no regrets. I did what I wanted to do. You can't expect more from life.

Can you look at a situation without naming it? Naming it, making it a word, causes fear.

To understand your fear is the beginning of really seeing.

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life! Do not be concerned with escaping safely- lay your life before him!!
