His famous quotes

 

Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.

 

The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand.

 

Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.

 

A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.
