Art is never decoration, embellishment instead, it is work of enlightenment. Art, in other words, is a technique for acquiring liberty.
Bruce Lee
Image
Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety in that state of mind, there is perception.

A kung fu man lives without being dependant on the opinions of others, and a master, unlike the beginner, holds himself in reserve. He is quiet and unassuming, with no desire to show off.
Bruce Lee
Image
Circumstances hell! I make circumstances!
Bruce Lee
Image
If there is a God, he is within. You don't ask God to give you things, you depend on God for your inner theme.
Bruce Lee
Image
Not being tense but ready. Not thinking but not dreaming. Not being set but flexible. Liberation from the uneasy sense of confinement. It is being wholly and quietly alive, aware and alert, ready for whatever may come.
Bruce Lee
Image
Do not deny the classical approach, simply as a reaction, or you will have created another pattern and trapped yourself there.
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
Independent inquiry is needed in your search for truth, not dependence on anyone else's view or a mere book.
