“The ideal is unnatural naturalness, or natural unnaturalness. I mean it is a combination of both.
I mean here is natural instinct and here is control. You are to combine the two in harmony.

That way it is a process of continuing growth.
Be water, my friend.”

The struggle between “for” and “against” is the mind’s worst disease.”
