Carlos Castaneda Quotes

«They took money away from us for years, and we never got it back.»
«?For a warrior, to be inaccessible means that he touches the world around him sparingly. And above all, he deliberately avoids exhausting himself and others. He doesn?t use and squeeze people until they have shriveled to nothing, especially the people he loves.?»
«?If his spirit is distorted he should simply fix it?purge it, make it perfect?because there is no other task in our entire lives which is more worthwhile?To seek the perfection of the warrior?s spirit is the only task worthy of our temporariness, our manhood.?»
«?There are lots of things a warrior can do at a certain time which he couldn?t do years before. Those things themselves did not change; what changed was his idea of himself.?»
«?Once a man worries, he clings to anything out of desperation; and once he clings he is bound to get exhausted or to exhaust whomever or whatever he is clinging to. A warrior-hunter, on the other hand, knows he will lure game into his traps over and over again, so he doesn?t worry.?»
«?The humbleness of a warrior is not the humbleness of the beggar. The warrior lowers his head to no one, but at the same time, he doesn?t permit anyone to lower his head to him. The beggar, on the other hand, falls to his knees at the drop of a hat and scrapes the floor to anyone he deems to be higher; but at the same time, he demands that someone lower than him scrape the floor for him.?»
«But we just had to explain to them the advantages and disadvantages of amending our Constitution.»
«We did disqualify a few for contributions they'd made to political parties. We wanted to make sure we got a neutral party.»
«Feeling important makes one heavy, clumsy, and vain.»
«Fright never injures anyone. What injures the spirit is having someone always on your back, beating you, telling you what to do and what not to do.»
