It takes all the time and all the energy we have to conquer the idiocy in us

To seek the perfection of the warrior's spirit is the only task worthy of our temporariness, our manhood.

The only thing we all have in common is that we play tricks in order to force ourselves to abandon the quest. The counter-measure is to persist in spite of all the barriers and disappointments.

Seek and see all the marvels around you. You will get tired of looking at yourself alone, and that fatigue will make you deaf and blind to everything else. - Don Juan

We have to balance the lineality of the known universe with the nonlineality of the unknown universe.

Challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges.

To achieve the mood of a warrior is not a simple matter. It is a revolution. To regard the lion and the water rats and our fellow men as equals is a magnificent act of a warrior's spirit. It takes power to do that.
