Carlos Castaneda citations célèbres

“« Votre voyage à Ixtlan n’est donc pas réel, dis-je.
— Il est réel, répliqua don Genaro. Les voyageurs ne sont pas réels. »”

Carlos Castaneda livre Le Voyage à Ixtlan

Le Voyage à Ixtlan (Journey to Ixtlan), 1972

“Pour un sorcier la réalité, c’est-à-dire le monde tel que nous le connaissons, n’est qu’une description.”

Carlos Castaneda livre Le Voyage à Ixtlan

Le Voyage à Ixtlan ('), 1972

“- Ma seule raison, c'est de vouloir vraiment apprendre, juste pour savoir. Je vous assure, Don Juan, que mes intentions ne sont pas mauvaises.
- Je vous crois, je vous ai fumé.
- Je vous demande pardon?
- C'est sans importance. Je connais vos motifs.
- Vous voulez dire que vous voyez à travers moi?
- Si vous voulez.
- Alors vous m'apprendrez?
- Non.
- Parce que je ne suis pas Indien?
- Non. Parce que vous ne connaissez pas votre cœur. Ce qui est important, c'est que vous sachiez exactement pourquoi vous voulez entreprendre cette étude. Etudier le "Mescalito"; c'est une chose très sérieuse. Si vous étiez Indien, le seul fait de souhaiter l'étudier suffirait. Car très peu d'Indiens expriment un tel désir.”

Carlos Castaneda: Citations en anglais

“A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting… Thus a man of knowledge sweats and puffs and if one looks at him he is just like an ordinary man, except that the folly of his life is under his control.”

“For a warrior, to be inaccessible means that he touches the world around him sparingly. And above all, he deliberately avoids exhausting himself and others. He doesn’t use and squeeze people until they have shriveled to nothing, especially the people he loves.”
