For a sorcerer, reality, or the world as we all know it, is only a description.
Carlos Castaneda
If his spirit is distorted he should simply fix it-purge it, make it perfect-because there is no other task in our entire lives which is more worthwhile...To seek the perfection of the warrior's spirit is the only task worthy of our temporariness, our manhood.
Carlos Castaneda
The hardest thing in the world is for a warrior to let others be.

All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. However, a path without a heart is never enjoyable. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy - it does not make a warrior work at liking it it makes for a joyful journey as long as a man follows it, he is one with it.
Carlos Castaneda
When a warrior learns to stop the internal dialogue, everything becomes possible the most far-fetched schemes become attainable.
Carlos Castaneda
Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path if you feel you should not follow, you must not stay with it under any circumstances.
Carlos Castaneda
...one should never turn to one's left when facing the nagual.
Carlos Castaneda

Carlos Castaneda
The fate of all of us here has been to know that we are prisoners of power. No one knows why us in particular, but what a great fortune!
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
For an instant I think I saw. I saw the loneliness of man as a gigantic wave which had been frozen in front of me, held back by the invisible wall of a metaphor.
