More quotes by G. I. Gurdjieff

G. I. Gurdjieff
Blessed is he who has a soul, blessed is he who has none, but woe and grief to him who has it in embryo.
G. I. Gurdjieff
A miracle is not the breaking of physical laws, but rather represents laws which are incomprehensible to us.
G. I. Gurdjieff

He begins to understand that self-observation is an instrument of self-change, a means of awakening.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Take the understanding of the East and the knowledge of the West-and then seek.
G. I. Gurdjieff

G. I. Gurdjieff
Love without knowledge is demonic.
G. I. Gurdjieff
The crowd neither wants nor seeks knowledge, and the leaders of the crowd, in their own interests, try to strengthen its fear and dislike of everything new and unknown. The slavery in which mankind lives is based upon this fear.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Humanity is moving in a circle. The progress in mechanical things of the past hundred years has proceeded at the cost of losing many other things which perhaps were much more important for it.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Practice love first on animals, they are more sensitive.
G. I. Gurdjieff
That which is easy is bad for your inner life.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Sincerity is the key which will open the door through which you will see your separate parts, and you will see something quite new. You must go on trying to be sincere. Each day you put on a mask, and you must take it off little by little.
G. I. Gurdjieff
