Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee
Image
To be what I term a 'quality' human being one has to be transparently real and have the courage to be what he is.
Bruce Lee
Image
Time means a lot to me because, you see, I, too, am also a learner and am often lost in the joy of forever developing and simplifying. If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.
Bruce Lee
Image
Voidness is that which stands right in the middle between this and that. The void is all-inclusive, having no opposite--there is nothing which it excludes or opposes. It is living void, because all forms come out of it and whoever realizes the void is filled with life and power and the love of all beings.

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
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
Image
To realize freedom the mind has to learn to look at life, which is a vast movement, without the bondage of time , for freedom lies beyond the field of consciousness care for watching, but don't stop and interpret I am free, then you're living in a memory of something that has gone before.
