The unfolding of the bare human soul...that is what interests me.
Bruce Lee
The doubters said, Man can not fly, The doers said, Maybe, but we'll try, And finally soared In the morning glow While non-believers Watched from below.
Bruce Lee
We [tend to] have more faith in what we imitate than in what we originate. We [often feel that we] cannot derive a sense of absolute certitude from anything which has its root in us. The most poignant sense of insecurity comes from standing alone we are not alone when we imitate.
Bruce Lee
Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.
