Bruce Lee Quotes

True Observation Begins When Devoid Of Set Patterns; Freedom Of Expression Occurs When One Is Beyond System.

Good Technique Includes Quick Changes, Great Variety And Speed. It May Be A System Of Reversals Much Like A Concept Of God And The Devil. In The Speed Of Events, Which One Is Really In Charge? Do They Change Places With Lightning Speed? The Chinese Believe So. To Put The Heart Of The Martial Arts In Your Own Heart And Have It Be A Part Of You Means Total Comprehension.

I Hope Martial Artists Are More Interested In The Root Of Martial Arts And Not The Different Decorative Branches, Flowers Or Leaves. It Is Futile To Argue As To Which Leaf, Which Design Of Branches, Or Which Attractive Flower You Like; When You Understand The Root, You Understand All Its Blossoming.

Finally, A Jeet Kune Do Man Who Says Jeet Kune Do Is Exclusively Jeet Kune Do Is Simply Not With It. He Is Still Hung Up On His Self-closing Resistance, In This Case Anchored Down To Reactionary Pattern, And Naturally Is Still Bound By Another Modified Pattern And Can Move Within Its Limits. He Has Not Digested The Simple Fact That Truth Exists Outside All Molds; Pattern And Awareness Is Never Exclusive. Again Let Me Remind You Jeet Kune Do Is Just A Name Used, A Boat To Get One Across, And Once Across It Is To Be Discarded And Not To Be Carried On One's Back.

I Do Not Fear The Man Who Practices 1,000 Kicks One Time Each. I Fear The Man Who Practices 1 Kick 1,000 Times.

I Don't Believe In Different Ways Of Fighting Now. I Mean, Unless Human Beings Have 3 Arms And 3 Legs, Then We Will Have A Different Way Of Fighting. But Basically We All Have Two Arms And Two Legs So That Is Why I Believe There Should Be Only One Way Of Fighting And That Is No Way.

True Thusness Is The Substance Of Thought, And Thought Is The Function Of True Thusness. There Is No Thought Except That Of True Thusness. Thusness Does Not Move, But Its Motion And Function Are Inexhaustible.

Life Is Never Stagnation. It Is Constant Movement, Un-rhythmic Movement, As We As Constant Change. Things Live By Moving And Gain Strength As They Go.

There's So Much Myth And Baloney. Like A 80-year-old Man Able To Manhandle A 300-pounder With His Little Finger. Ridiculous. Or This Matter Of Breaking Bricks And Boards Wth The Edge Of Your Hand. Now I Ask You, Did You Ever See A Brick Or A Board Pick A Fight With Anybody?

I Hope Martial Artists Are More Interested In The Root Of Martial Arts And Not The Different Decorative Branches, Flowers Or Leaves.

Here I Am As A Human Being...how Can I Express Myself, Totally And Completely?

Self-knowledge Is The Basis Of Jeet Kune Do Because It Is Effective Not Only For The Individual's Martial Art But Also For His Life As A Human Being.
