“...we have more faith in what we imitate than in what we originate. We cannot derive a sense of absolute certitude from anything which has its roots in us. The most poignant sense of insecurity comes from standing alone and we are not alone when we imitate. It is thus with most of us; we are what other people say we are. We know ourselves chiefly by hearsay.”

“Be like water making its way through crack.
Do not be assertive but adjust to the object and you shall find a way round it or through it.

Moving be like water.
Still be like a mirror.
Respond like an echo.”
