“All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.”

“Because one does not want to be disturbed, to be made uncertain, he establishes a pattern of conduct, of thought, a pattern of relationship to man etc. Then he becomes a slave to the patter and takes the pattern to be the real thing.”

“Do not deny the classical approach, simply as a reaction, or you will have created another pattern and trapped yourself there.”

“Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water.”

“The man who is really serious, with the urge to find out what truth is, has no style at all. He lives only in what is.”

“Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.”

“All knowledge leads to self-knowledge.”
