“Feeling important makes one heavy, clumsy and vain. To be a warrior one needs to be light and fluid. Self-importance is man’s greatest enemy. What weakens him is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of his fellow men. Self-importance requires that one spend most of one’s life offended by something or someone. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.” ~Carlos Castaneda
“In a world where death is the hunter, my friend, there is no time for regrets or doubts. There is only time for decisions.” ~Don Juan Matus, “Journey to Ixtlán” (by Carlos Castañeda)
"It is important to do what you don't know how to do. It is important to see your skills as keeping you from learning what is deepest and most mysterious. If you know how to focus, unfocus. If your tendency is to make sense out of chaos, start chaos." ~Carlos Castaneda
"Look at every path closely and deliberately. Then ask yourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn’t, it is of no use." ~Carlos Castaneda
“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.” ~Carlos Castaneda
"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other." ~Carlos Castaneda
"We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same." ~Carlos Castaneda
OTHERS
“It doesn’t matter what our specific fate is, as long as we face it with ultimate abandon." ~Don Juan to Carlos Castaneda
