In the realm of ideas, to you: this record of patient
research and genuine experiment according to experience, faithful to the
nature of whatever was being done.
— Frank Lloyd Wright

A player's effectiveness is directly related to his
ability to be right there, doing that thing, in the moment. All
the preparation he may have put into the game—all the game plans,
analysis of movies, etc.—is no good if he can't put it into action when
game time comes. He can't be worrying about the past or the future
or the crowd or some other extraneous event. He must be able to
respond in the here and now.
— John Brodie

The universal body of reality is so subtle that you do
not hear it when you deliberately listen for it, and you do not see it

— Huanglong

There are various Ways. There is the way of
salvation by the law of Buddha, the Way of Confucius governing the Way
of learning, the Way of healing as a doctor, as a poet teaching the Way
of wake, tea, archery, and many arts and skills. Each man
practices as he feels inclined.
— Miyamoto Musashi
