Bruce Lee
Image
Before me now there is only one real fact -- Death. The truth I have been seeking -- this truth is Death. Yet Death is also a seeker. Forever seeking me. So -- we have met at last. And I am prepared. I am at peace. Because I will conquer death with death.
Bruce Lee

My strength comes from my abdomen. It's the center of gravity and the source of real power.
