Even though Bruce Lee is best known as a martial
artist and actor, Lee majored in philosophy at the University of
Washington. Lee himself was well-read and had an extensive
library. His own books on martial arts and fighting philosophy
are known for their philosophical assertions both inside and
outside of martial arts circles. His eclectic philosophy often
mirrored his fighting beliefs, though he was quick to claim that
his martial arts were solely a metaphor for such teachings. His
influences include Taoism, Jiddu Krishnamurti, and Buddhism. -
"To tell the truth....I could beat anyone in the world."
-
"If I tell you I'm good, you would probably think I'm boasting. If I tell you I'm no good, you know I'm lying."
-
"Fighting is not something sought after, yet it is something that seeks you."
