“Before I learned the art, a punch was just a punch, and a kick, just a kick.
After I learned the art, a punch was no longer a punch, a kick, no longer a kick.
Now that I understand the art, a punch is just a punch and a kick is just a kick.”
— Bruce Lee
(h/t to Jeff Almeyda in NYC)
This reminds me that during one of my favorite Buddy Rich/Johnny Carson interviews, Johnny asked Buddy if he could be reincarnated, who/what would he come back as, and Buddy said: "Bruce Lee." True and very cool.
