The fate of all of us here has been to know that we are prisoners of power. No one knows why us in particular, but what a great fortune!

If you were a warrior, you would know that the worst thing one can do is confront human beings directly.

I'm never angry at anybody! No human being can do anything important enough for that. You get angry at people when you feel that their acts are important. I don't feel that way any longer.

It was stupidity that forced us to discard anything that did not conform with ourself - reflective expectations.

Our senses perceive the way they do because a specific feature of our awareness forces them to do so...because we learn what to perceive.

To die with elation is a crappy way of dying... A warrior dies the hard way. His death must struggle to take him. A warrior does not give himself to it.

If a warrior needs solace he simply chooses anyone and expresses to that person every detail of his turmoil. After all, the warrior is not seeking to be understood or helped; by talking he's merely relieving himself of his pressure.
