Text Quotes
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  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) An average man is too concerned with liking people or with being liked himself. A warrior likes, that’s all. He likes whatever or whomever he wants, for the hell of it  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) It is best to erase all personal history because that would make us free from the encumbering thoughts of other people  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) Only a warrior can survive the path of knowledge because the art of the warrior is to balance the pain of being a man with the wonder of being a man  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) The world is incomprehensible. We won’t ever understand it; we won’t ever unravel its secrets. Thus we must treat the world as it is: a sheer mystery  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) I’m afraid you will have to fly holding the rock with its heavy chain  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) When one has nothing to lose, one becomes courageous. We are timid only when there is something we can still cling to  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) Power rests on the kind of knowledge one holds. What is the sense of knowing things that are useless?  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) Before you embark on it you ask the question: Does this path have a heart? If the answer is no, you will know it, and then you must choose another path  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) Do you know at this very moment you are surrounded by eternity? And do you know that you can use that eternity if you so desire?  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) There is a flaw with words, they always force us to feel enlightened, but when we turn around to face the world they always fail us and we end up facing the world as we always have, without enlightenment  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) ... the spirit reveals itself to everyone with the same intensity and consistency, but only warriors are consistently attuned to such revelations  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) The sorcerer’s description of the world is perceivable. But our insistence on holding on to our standard version of reality renders us almost deaf and blind to it  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) The things shamans deal with are extremely practical. They break down parameters of normal historical reality. Magical passes are just one aspect of that  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) Eventually I saw that the path of the heart requires a full gesture, a degree of abandon that can be terrifying. Only then is it possible to achieve a sparkling metamorphosis  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) Never take a path that has no heart in it. You can’t lose if your heart is in your work, but you can’t win if your heart is not in it  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) Intent is what can make a man succeed when his thoughts tell him that he is defeated  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) If you were a warrior, you would know that the worst thing one can do is confront human beings directly  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) Dwelling upon the self too much produces terrible fatigue. A man in that position is deaf and blind to everything else. The fatigue itself makes him cease to see the marvels all around  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) Inner silence works from the moment you begin to accrue it. What the old sorcerers were after was the final dramatic, end result of reaching that individual threshold of silence  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) The third point of reference is freedom of perception; it is intent; it is spirit; the somersault of thought into the miraculous; the act of reaching beyond our boundaries and touching the inconceivable  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) When nothing is for sure, we remain alert, perennially on our toes. It is more exciting not to know which bush the rabbit is hiding behind than to behave as though we knew everything  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) The fact of the matter is that many children see... Most of those who see are considered to be oddballs and every effort is made to correct them  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) I’m never angry at anybody! No human being can do anything important enough for that. You get angry at people when you feel that their acts are important. I don’t feel that way any longer  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) A path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you... Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself alone, one question... Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn’t it is of no use  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) To seek freedom is the only driving force I know. Freedom to fly off into that infinity out there. Freedom to dissolve; to lift off; to be like the flame of a candle, which, in spite of being up against the light of a billion stars, remains intact, because it never pretended to be more than what it is: a mere candle  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) All of us, whether or not we are warriors, have a cubic centimeter of chance that pops out in front of our eyes from time to time. The difference between an average man and a warrior is that the warrior is aware of this, and one of his tasks is to be alert, deliberately waiting, so that when his cubic centimeter pops out he has the necessary speed, the prowess, to pick it up  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) The dying sun will glow on you without burning, as it has done today. The wind will be soft and mellow and your hilltop will tremble. As you reach the end of your dance you will look at the sun, for you will never see it again in waking or in dreaming, and then your death will point to the south. To the vastness  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) My benefactor told me that my father and mother had lived and died just to have me, and that their own parents had done the same for them. He said that warriors were different in that they shift their assemblage points enough to realize the tremendous price that has been paid for their lives. This shift gives them the respect and awe that their parents never felt for life in general, or for being alive in particular  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes) For me the world is weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable; my interest has been to convince you that you must assume responsibility for being here, in this marvelous world, in this marvelous desert, in this marvelous time. I want to convince you that you must learn to make every act count, since you are going to be here for only a short while, in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it  (Carlos Castaneda Quotes)
