Armando - Castaneda

* The warrior knows that he lives in a predatorial universe. He can never let his guard down.

* The warrior knows that he can only give the very best of himself under conditions of maximum tension.

* Pity for others always stems from concern for the self. Perhaps you believe yourself better than others?

* We have substituted a genuine ineterest in man's spirit with cheap sentimentality. We have become professionals of compassion.

* Selfish clamor for attention

* After your basic personality is formed, you can cancel nothing out. The only option left is to laugh at yourself

* The favorite area of action of self-importance is pity, for oneself and for those who surround us.

* We are important because we are afraid, and the more fear, the more ego.

правильнее сказать We are afraid because we are important, но и обратное верно: fear increases self-importance
