The key to everything — remain apart. Our aim is to have constantly a sensation of oneself, of one’s individuality, this sensation cannot be expressed intellectually, because it is organic. It is something which makes you independent when you are with other people.

Additional quotes by George Gurdjieff

how there are never crystallized in them any subjective being-convictions formed by their own logical deliberations — as in general is proper to three-brained beings — but instead, only those convictions are crystallized that depend exclusively upon the opinions of others.

RELIGION IS DOING; a man does not merely think his religion or feel it, he lives his religion as much as he is able, otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy. Whether he likes it or not he shows his attitude towards religion by his actions and he can show his attitude only by his actions. Therefore if his actions are opposed to those which are demanded by a given religion he cannot assert that he belongs to that religion.
