When we look at modern man we have to face the fact that modern man suffers from a kind of poverty of the spirit, which stands in glaring contrast to his scientific and technological abundance, we've learned to fly the air like birds, we've learned to swim the seas like fish, and yet we haven’t learned to walk the earth as brothers and sisters.

Inside Man Be faithful to that which exists within yourself. It's not the sugar that makes the tea sweet, but the stirring. We lie loudest when we lie to ourselves. Any path is only a path and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you. Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one question…Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn’t it is of no use. The Teachings of Don Juan (contributed by Anesh) I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them.

For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand. You have to learn the rules of the game.

You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know it's going to rise tomorrow.
