More quotes by Bruce Lee
Art is never decoration, embellishment instead, it is work of enlightenment. Art, in other words, is a technique for acquiring liberty.
Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee
Remember, Life is a journey, not a destination.
Bruce Lee
Jeet Kune Do favors formlessness so that it can assume all forms and since Jeet Kune Do has no style, it can fit in with all styles. As a result, Jeet Kune Do utilizes all ways and is bound by none and, likewise, uses any techniques which serve its end.

If you want to learn to swim jump into the water. On dry land no frame of mind is ever going to help you.
Bruce Lee
We [tend to] have more faith in what we imitate than in what we originate. We [often feel that we] cannot derive a sense of absolute certitude from anything which has its root in us. The most poignant sense of insecurity comes from standing alone we are not alone when we imitate.
Bruce Lee
To see is to be decieved. To hear is to be lied to. To FEEL is to believe.
Bruce Lee
The meaning of life is that it is to be lived, and it is not to be traded and conceptualized and squeezed into a patter of systems.
Bruce Lee
