““The hardest thing in the world is to assume the mood of a warrior. It is of no use to be sad and complain and feel justified in doing so, believing that someone is always doing something it us. Nobody is doing anything to anybody, much less to a warrior.””
Carlos Castaneda
“Fat and lazy is an oxymoron, a paradox. It is the hardest job in the world. It pays nothing, every step you carry all that extra fat, costs extra for food and clothes, it reduces the % of those attracted to you dramatically. No vacations, no weekends, not even 90 minutes in a theater without holding your elbows in tightly to your sides to keep from offending a neighboring viewer. Every time you turn over in bed you turn you plus all that extra weight. It is a horrible job. I quit that damn job!”
Lollie Dot Com (yes, legal name change 2004)
“To achieve the mood of a warrior is not a simple matter. It is a revolution. To regard the lion and the water rats and our fellow men as equals is a magnificent act of a warrior's spirit. It takes power to do that.”
““Only as a warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge, and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges.””
“Remember the quiet wonders. The world has more need of them than it has for warriors.”
Charles de Lint
“I classify players as good, great and warriors. James was a warrior. And he took care of so many team problems that coaches have with players.”
Dale Mays
“People in this world look at things mistakenly, and think that what they do not understand must be the void. This is not the true void. It is bewilderment...”
Miyamoto Musashi
