“Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system.”

“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.”

“The meaning of life is that it is to be lived, and it is not to be traded and conceptualized and squeezed into a patter of systems.”

“Many people dedicate their lives to actualizing a concept of what they should be like, rather than actualizing themselves. This difference between self-actualization and self-image actualization is very important. Most people live only for their image”

“A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.”

“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.”

“Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later the man who wins, is the man who thinks he can.”
