Image
Have no rigid system in you, and you'll be flexible to change with the ever changing.
Bruce Lee
Image
Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Bruce Lee
Image
You and your opponent are one. There is a coexisting relationship between you. You coexist with your opponent and become his complement, absorbing his attack and using his force to overcome him.
Bruce Lee
Image
I hope martial artists are more interested in the root of martial arts and not the different decorative branches, flowers or leaves.
Bruce Lee
Image
Remember, success is a journey not a destination. Have faith in your ability. You will do just fine.
Bruce Lee
Image
Bring the mind into sharp focus and make it alert so that it can immediately intuit truth, which is everywhere. The mind must be emancipated from old habits, prejudices, restrictive thought processes and even ordinary thought itself.

Understand your limitations and capitalize on them.
Bruce Lee
Image
I have always been a martial artist by choice, an actor by profession, but above all, am actualising myself to be an artist of life.
Bruce Lee
Image
Put every great teacher in a room, and they'd agree about everything, but put their disciples in there and they'd argue about everything.
Bruce Lee
Image
For something that is static, fixed, dead, there can be a way or a definite path but not for anything that is moving and living.
Bruce Lee
Image
Love is like a friendship caught on fire.
Bruce Lee
Image
To me, the extraordinary aspect of martial arts lies in its simplicity. The easy way is also the right way, and martial arts is nothing at all special the closer to the true way of martial arts, the less wastage of expression there is.
Bruce Lee
Image
A martial artist has to take responsibility for himself and accept the consequences of his own doing.
Bruce Lee
Image
What we are after is the root and not the branches. The root is the real knowledge the branches are surface knowledge. Real knowledge breeds 'body feel' and personal expression surface knowledge breeds mechanical conditioning and imposing limitation and squelches creativity.
Bruce Lee
Image
To understand your fear is the beginning of really seeing.
Bruce Lee
Image
Self-Conquest is the greatest of victories. Mighty is he who conquers himself.
Bruce Lee
Image
Art is the way to the absolute and to the essence of human life. The aim of art is not the one-sided promotion of spirit, soul and senses, but the opening of all human capacities – thought, feeling, will – to the life rhythm of the world of nature. So will the voiceless voice be heard and the self be brought into harmony with it.

The most important thing to me is, how, in the process of learning how to use my body, can I come to understand myself ?

If one loves, one need not have an ideology of love.
