More quotes by Bruce Lee

Image
The most important thing to me is, how, in the process of learning how to use my body, can I come to understand myself ?
Bruce Lee
Image
You must accept the fact that there is no help but self-help. I cannot tell you how to gain freedom since freedom exists within you.
Bruce Lee
Image
It is true that the mental aspect of kung-fu is the desired end however, to achieve this end, technical skill must come first.
Bruce Lee
Image
To live is to express oneself freely
Bruce Lee
Image
The aim of art is to project an inner vision into the world.
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
Everyone wants to learn how to win, but no one wants to learn how to accept defeat.
Bruce Lee

Effort within the mind further limits the mind, because effort implies struggle towards a goal and when you have a goal, a purpose, an end in view, you have placed a limit on the mind.
Bruce Lee

Observe what is with undivided awareness.
Bruce Lee
Image
To me, ultimately, martial arts means honestly expressing yourself.
Bruce Lee
Image
Here I am as a human being...how can I express myself, totally and completely?
Bruce Lee
Image
I'm moving and not moving at all. I'm like the moon underneath the waves that ever go on rolling and rocking. It is not, I am doing this, but rather, an inner realization that this is happening through me, or it is doing this for me. The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.
Bruce Lee
Image
All knowledge leads to self-knowledge.
Bruce Lee
Image
Can you look at a situation without naming it? Naming it, making it a word, causes fear.
Bruce Lee
Image
All martial art is simply an honest expression of one's body — with a lot of deception in between.
Bruce Lee
Image
The aim of art is to project an inner vision into the world, to state in aesthetic creation the deepest psychic and personal experiences of a human being. It is to enable those experiences to be intelligible and generally recognized within the total framework of an ideal world.
Bruce Lee
Image
One rule is to not use complicated techniques unless they are necessary to achieve your goal. First, use simple movements, and if they don't work, then introduce the more complex ones.
Bruce Lee
Image
Have no rigid system in you, and you'll be flexible to change with the ever changing.
Bruce Lee
Image
Defeat is a state of mind no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.
Bruce Lee
Image
In order to realize our true self we must be willing to live without being dependent upon the opinion of others.
