Carlos Castaneda
Self importance is man's greatest enemy.
Carlos Castaneda

Carlos Castaneda
Self-importance requires spending most of one's life offended by something or someone.
Carlos Castaneda

Carlos Castaneda
The only thing we all have in common is that we play tricks in order to force ourselves to abandon the quest. The counter-measure is to persist in spite of all the barriers and disappointments.
Carlos Castaneda
We have to balance the lineality of the known universe with the nonlineality of the unknown universe.
Carlos Castaneda
