Zen and the Art of Archery Quotes (from the book)

Eugen Herrigel was a German philosophy professor. He introduces Zen to western countries through his book, Zen and the Art of Archery, distributed in the 1940s and 1950s. His book inspired over 200 other titles with a similar title “Zen and the Art,” including the acclaimed Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig.

The man, the art, the work–it is all one.
Eugen Herrigel

The more one concentrates on breathing, the more the external stimuli fade into the background.
Eugen Herrigel

The shot will only go smoothly when it takes the archer himself by surprise.
Eugen Herrigel

How far the pupil will go is not the concern of the teacher and Master. Hardly has he shown him the right way when he must let him go on alone.
Eugen Herrigel

The right shot at the right moment does not come because you do not let go of yourself. You do not wait for the fulfillment but brace yourself for failure.
Eugen Herrigel

More from Eugen Herrigel

In the case of archery, the hitter and the hit are no longer two opposing objects but are one reality.
Eugen Herrigel

The more obstinately you try to learn how to shoot the arrow for the sake of hitting the goal, the less you will succeed in the one, and the further the other will recede.
Eugen Herrigel

Don’t think of what you have to do, don’t consider how to carry it out! The shot will only go smoothly when it takes the archer himself by surprise.
Eugen Herrigel

What stands in your way is that you have a much too willful will. You think that what you do not do yourself does not happen.
Eugen Herrigel

You worry yourself unnecessarily. Put the thought of hitting right out of your mind!
Eugen Herrigel

On Breathing

The more one concentrates on breathing, the more the external stimuli fade into the background… In due course, one even grows immune to larger stimuli, and at the same time, detachment from them becomes easier and quicker.

Care has only to be taken that the body is relaxed whether standing, sitting, or lying, and if one then concentrates on breathing, one soon feels oneself shut in by impermeable layers of silence. One only knows and feels that one breathes.

And, to detach oneself from this feeling and knowing, no fresh decision is required, for the breathing slows down of its own accord, becomes more and more economical in the use of breath, and finally, slipping by degrees into a blurred monotone escapes one’s attention altogether.
Eugen Herrigel

Inspirational Archery Quotes

But you must be patient and careful, nor should you expect to become an accomplished archer without long and severe training.
Maurice Thompson

The main thing about archery is a battle with yourself. You can ruin it all. Once you have learned the technique, the point is to re-create the perfect technique over and over and over.
Geena Davis

Other archers are not my competition. I stand with them, not against them.

You need to have GOALS in your life.
Zig Ziglar

But you must be patient and careful, nor should you expect to become an accomplished archer without long and severe training.
Maurice Thompson

Archery is like a journey. It begins with a love for shooting a bow and a passion for watching our arrows fly.
Ron Laclair

In piano, if you try to force hitting this key and that key, it’s very broken. It’s not pretty. When you’re in archery, you can’t try to force it step-by-step-by-step. Then the shot doesn’t flow, and it’s not a good shot. If you just let the performance flow, it’s really beautiful.
Miranda Leek

Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or even advanced archer, Archery will give you something that’s almost impossible to find elsewhere.
