Quote by George Gurdjieff

Without struggle, no progress and no result. Every breaking of habit produces a change in the machine.

Without struggle, no progress and no result. Every breaking

Summary

This quote suggests that progress and change cannot occur without facing challenges and overcoming difficulties. It highlights how breaking habits, which often requires effort and struggle, results in a transformation. It implies that remaining stagnant or comfortable in routine does not lead to growth or improvement. Rather, it is through pushing ourselves outside of our comfort zones and pushing against resistance that we are able to produce desired outcomes and achieve personal development.

All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.
