“All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.When one has reached maturity in the art, one will have a formless form. It is like ice dissolving in water. When one has no form, one can be all forms; when one has no style, he can fit in with any style.” — Bruce Lee
