About This Quote
To study the Masters without guarding your own style is not to study them at all. It is like stealing from one’s own soul. The masters have a life that must be studied in order to learn the way they live. You cannot learn that life from another person or book. You have to live it yourself in order to discover its secrets and how it works in your life.
