Carlos Castaneda

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.

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
It doesn't matter how one was brought up. What determines the way one does anything is personal power.
Carlos Castaneda
Once it has learned to dream the double, the self arrives at this weird crossroad and a moment comes when one realizes that it is the double who dreams the self.

Carlos Castaneda
My benefactor used to say the seeds are the 'sober head' -- the only part that could fortify the heart of man.
Carlos Castaneda
A warrior seeks to act rather than talk.
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
Learn to see, and then you'll know that there is no end to the new worlds of our vision.
Carlos Castaneda
It takes all the time and all the energy we have to conquer the idiocy in us
Carlos Castaneda
A warrior doesn't know remorse for anything he has done, because to isolate one's acts as being mean, or ugly, or evil is to place an unwarranted importance on the self.
Carlos Castaneda
A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting... Thus a man of knowledge sweats and puffs and if one looks at him he is just like an ordinary man, except that the folly of his life is under his control.
Carlos Castaneda
The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.
