“The path of self-realisation is the most difficult. -We acquire a sense of worth either by realising our talents, or by keeping busy, or by identifying ourselves with something apart from us - be it a cause, a leader, a group, possessions, and the like. Of the three, the path of self-realisation is the most difficult. It is taken when other avenues to a sense of worth are more or less blocked.”

“...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.

When you have that you will know that there are no limits.”
