The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.

That's your doing. Now in order to affect that doing I am going to recommend that you learn another doing... It may hook you to another doing and then you may realize that both doings are lies, unreal, and that to hinge yourself to either one is a waste of time, because the only thing that is real is the being in you that is going to die. To arrive at that being is the note-doing of the self

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

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.

We are men and our lot in life is to learn and to be hurled into inconceivable new worlds.

I'm afraid you will have to fly holding the rock with its heavy chain.

A warrior lives by acting, not by thinking about acting, nor by thinking about what he will think when he has finished acting.
