“It is not a shame to be knocked down by other people. The important thing is to ask when you're being knocked down, 'Why am I being knocked down?' If a person can reflect in this way, then there is hope for this person.”

“...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.”
