Feeling important makes one heavy, clumsy and vain. To be a warrior one needs to be light and fluid.

Self-importance requires spending most of one's life offended by something or someone.

You are like you are, because you tell yourself that you are that way.

An average man is too concerned with liking people or with being liked himself. A warrior likes, that's all. He likes whatever or whomever he wants, for the hell of it.

The only thing that is real is the being in you that is going to die.

Power rests on the kind of knowledge one holds. What is the sense of knowing things that are useless?

Hunting power is a very strange affair. There is no way to plan it ahead of time. That's what's exciting about it. A warrior proceeds as if he had a plan though, because he trusts his personal power. He knows for a fact that it will make him act in th emost appropriate fashion.
