Walter Carrington

"..... these two things - the unity of mind and body, and the attitude towards right and wrong - are the two main features that distinguish our work....It is no good seeing our work like that of anyone else, because it is not. If we are true to our own principles, if we really live the Technique....then there won't be much room for presenting the work as though it was like anything else. To present it as a form of therapy.... or to present it as anything other than it is - a psycho-physical process - is to misrepresent and mislead."

Walter Carrington as quoted by Daniel Pevsner in his memorial tribute on 20th September 2005
