A man goes to knowledge as he ...

A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war: wide-awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance. Going to knowledge or going to war in any other manner is a mistake, and whoever makes it might never live to regret it

Crows are not always available...

Crows are not always available to give warning.

Carlos Castaneda 261 quotes

A warrior acts as if he knows ...

A warrior acts as if he knows what he is doing, when in effect he knows nothing.

Carlos Castaneda 261 quotes

A warrior lives by acting, not...

A warrior lives by acting, not by thinking about acting, nor by thinking about what he will think when he has finished acting.

Carlos Castaneda 261 quotes

A warrior must learn to make e...

A warrior must learn to make every act count, since he is going to be here in this world for only a short while, in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it.

Carlos Castaneda 261 quotes

A warrior seeks to act rather ...

A warrior seeks to act rather than talk.

Carlos Castaneda 261 quotes

It doesn't matter how one was ...

It doesn't matter how one was brought up. What determines the way one does anything is personal power.

Carlos Castaneda 261 quotes

The spirit of a warrior is not...

The spirit of a warrior is not geared to indulging and complaining, nor is it geared to winning or losing. The spirit of a warrior is geared only to struggle, and every struggle is a warrior's last battle on earth. Thus the outcome matters very little to him. In his last battle on earth a warrior lets his spirit flow free and clear. And as he wages his battle, knowing that his intent is impeccable, a warrior laughs and laughs.

Carlos Castaneda 261 quotes

Warriors do not win victories ...

Warriors do not win victories by beating their heads against walls, but by overtaking the walls. Warriors jump over walls; they don't demolish them.

Carlos Castaneda 261 quotes

A rule of thumb for a warrior ...

A rule of thumb for a warrior is that he makes his decisions so carefully that nothing that may happen as a result of them can surprise him, much less drain his power.

Carlos Castaneda 261 quotes

If his spirit is distorted he ...

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.

Carlos Castaneda 261 quotes

Personal history must be const...

Personal history must be constantly renewed by telling parents, relatives, and friends everything one does. On the other hand, for the warrior who has no personal history, no explanations are needed; nobody is angry or disillusioned with his acts. And above all, no one pins him down with their thoughts and their expectations.

Carlos Castaneda 261 quotes

There are lots of things a war...

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.

Carlos Castaneda 261 quotes

To be a warrior is not a simpl...

To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other.

Carlos Castaneda 261 quotes

When a man has fulfilled all f...

When a man has fulfilled all four of these requisites-to be wide awake, to have fear, respect, and absolute assurance-there are no mistakes for which he will have to account; under such conditions his actions lose the blundering quality of the acts of a fool. If such a man fails, or suffers a defeat, he will have lost only a battle, and there will be no pitiful regrets over that.

Carlos Castaneda 261 quotes

There's no emptiness in the li...

There's no emptiness in the life of a warrior. Everything is filled to the brim. Everything is filled to the brim, and everything is equal.

Carlos Castaneda 261 quotes

A warrior considers himself al...

A warrior considers himself already dead, so there is nothing to lose. The worst has already happened to him, therefore he's clear and calm; judging him by his acts or by his words, one would never suspect that he has witnessed everything.

Carlos Castaneda 261 quotes

A warrior thinks of death when...

A warrior thinks of death when things become unclear. The idea of death is the only thing that tempers our spirit.

Carlos Castaneda 261 quotes

Only the idea of death makes a...

Only the idea of death makes a warrior sufficiently detached so that he is capable of abandoning himself to anything. He knows his death is stalking him and won't give him time to cling to anything so he tries, without craving, all of everything.

Carlos Castaneda 261 quotes

To worry is to become accessib...

To worry is to become accessible, unwittingly accessible. And once you worry you cling to anything out of desperation; and once you cling you are bound to get exhausted or to exhaust whoever or whatever you are clinging to.
