Being true to the situation

'I must be true to the situation that is presented to me as the circumstances of my life. When you look at a situation, you look to see what can be done... when I look to see what can be done in a situation, the answer comes from the situation... There's no thinking...'

'Every situation needs to be looked at, not to be felt about. It is intelligent to look – it is not intelligent to feel.'

'...the situation is that in a relationship, there's only one thing in a relationship, and that is that we both enjoy being together.'

'Be true to the situation and not to your self.'

'To be free is to be true to the situation. To be in bondage… is to be true to your feelings.'

'Action requires looking and looking at the situation, and if I look at the situation without thinking, I will see the next probable move.'
