You're chained to you reason ... Understanding is only a very small affair, so very small
Carlos Castaneda

A hunter that is worth his salt does not catch game because he sets his traps, or because he knows the hunting routines of his prey, but because he himself has no routines. This is his advantage. He is not at all like the animals he is after, fixed by heavy routines and predictable quirks he is free, fluid, unpredictable
Carlos Castaneda
You are like you are, because you tell yourself that you are that way.
Carlos Castaneda
The secret is not in what you do to yourself but rather in what you don't do.
Carlos Castaneda
One cannot enter don Juan's world intellectually, like a dilettante seeking fast and fleeting knowledge. Nor, in don Juan's world, can anything be verified absolutely. The only thing we can do is arrive at a state of increased awareness that allows us to perceive the world around us in a more inclusive manner.
Carlos Castaneda
If a warrior is to succeed at anything, the success must come gently, with a great deal of effort but with no stress or obsession.
Carlos Castaneda
Once a man worries, he clings to anything out of desperation and once he clings he is bound to get exhausted or to exhaust whomever or whatever he is clinging to. A warrior-hunter, on the other hand, knows he will lure game into his traps over and over again, so he doesn't worry.
Carlos Castaneda
A man of knowledge chooses a path with a heart and follows it and then he looks and rejoices and laughs and then he sees and knows.
Carlos Castaneda
A warrior knows that he is only a man. His only regret is that his life is so short that he can't grab onto all the things he would like to. But for him, this is not an issue it's only a pity.
