Bruce Lee on “Self”:

Don’t be limited by what you have learned, but harness it. External objects cannot shake your state of mind, moving to reconcile the contradictions in the cosmic spirit.

Bruce Lee on “Self”:

 

I am constantly moving, yet completely unmoved. I am like a moon on a wave, constantly bumping and moving – what is moving is just a phantom. The true meaning lies not in ‘what I am doing’ or ‘what I am now’, but in my inner self awareness, which is the ‘true self’.

Bruce Lee on the “self”:

If you want to break through yourself, you need to be aware of your own consciousness.
