Every grown-up man consists wholly of habits, although he is often unaware of it and even denies having any habits at all.
G. I. GurdjieffWithout self knowledge, without understanding the working and functions of his machine, man cannot be free, he cannot govern himself and he will always remain a slave.
G. I. GurdjieffThere is a cosmic law which says that every satisfaction must be paid for with a dissatisfaction.
G. I. GurdjieffListen, you have now found the conditions in which the desire of your heart can become the reality of your being. Stay here, until you acquire a force in you that nothing can destroy. Then you'll need to go back into life, and there you will measure yourself constantly with forces which will show you your place.
G. I. Gurdjieff
