“Awareness of your weakness is the first step for correction”
“The mind's first step to self-awareness must be through the body.”
“It may be that we are puppets-puppets controlled by the strings of society. But at least we are puppets with perception, with awareness. And perhaps our awareness is the first step to our liberation. (1974) ”
“Self-awareness of one’s faults, far from being the first step to growth, is very often the second foot in the mud.”
“Don't argue for other people's weaknesses. Don't argue for your own. When you make a mistake, admit it, correct it, and learn from it / immediately.”
“Goddamn your bones, that is the first step.”
