Only As A Warrior Can One Survive

One Day I Found Out That Personal History Was No Longer Necessary For Me And, Like Drinking, I Dropped It... Little By Little You Must Create A Fog Around Yourself; You Must Erase Everything Around You Until Nothing Can Be Taken For Granted, Until Nothing Is Any Longer For Sure, Or Real. Your Problem Now Is That You're Too Real. Your Endeavors Are Too Real, Your Moods Are Too Real. Don't Take Things So For Granted. You Must Begin To Erase Yourself.

If A Warrior Needs Solace He Simply Chooses Anyone And Expresses To That Person Every Detail Of His Turmoil. After All, The Warrior Is Not Seeking To Be Understood Or Helped; By Talking He's Merely Relieving Himself Of His Pressure.

Only A Warrior Can Survive The Path Of Knowledge Because The Art Of The Warrior Is To Balance The Pain Of Being A Man With The Wonder Of Being A Man.

I Too Did Not Want To Take The Path Of A Warrior. I Believed That All That Work Was For Nothing, And Since We Are All Going To Die What Difference Would It Make To Be A Warrior? I Was Wrong. But I Had To Find That Out For Myself. Whenever You Do Realize That You Are Wrong, And That It Certainly Makes A World Of Difference, You Can Say That You Are Convinced. And Then You Can Proceed By Yourself. Any By Yourself You May Even Become A Man Of Knowledge

When A Warrior Has Put An End To His Routines, When He Doesn't Care Anymore Whether He Has Company Or Is Alone, Because He Has Heard The Silent Whisper Of The Spirit; Then You Can Say That, Truly, He Has Died. From That Point On, Even The Simplest Things In Life Become Extraordinary For Him.
