Coyote, he looked down at his newest creation and said, Oh, shit. — Sherman Alexie

And the more we know of correct principles, the greater is our personal freedom to act wisely. — Stephen Covey

What we are after is the root and not the branches. The root is the real knowledge; the branches are surface knowledge. Real knowledge breeds 'body feel' and personal expression; surface knowledge breeds mechanical conditioning and imposing limitation and squelches creativity. — Bruce Lee
