When we hold to the core, the opposite sides are the same if they are seen from the center of the moving circle. I do not experience I am experience. I am not the subject of experience I am that experience. I am awareness. Nothing else can be I or can exist.
Bruce Lee
Image
In combat, spontaneity rules rote performance of technique perishes.
Bruce Lee
Image
Conditioning obstructs our view of reality. We do not see IT in its suchness because of our indoctrination, crooked and twisted.
Bruce Lee
Image
Stop wasting time in playing a role or a concept. Instead, learn to ACTUALIZE YOURSELF, your potential.
Bruce Lee
Image
Running water never grows stale.
Bruce Lee
Image
When you're talking about fighting, as it is, with no rules, well then, baby you'd better train every part of your body!
Bruce Lee
Image
Remember no man is really defeated unless he is discouraged.
Bruce Lee

Instead of dedicating your life to actualize a concept of what you should be like, actualize yourself.
