These 122 quotes from F.M.Alexander's lessons were written down by Ethel Webb, who worked as his secretary in the 1920s and 1930s, sitting in a small office outside Alexander's teaching room at Ashley Place. Dr Barlow later published them in The Alexander Journal (no.7,1972, pp.41-48). They were reprinted in "Articles & Lectures", and a selection appears in E.Maisel's book on the Alexander Technique.
They are at the same time philosophical and practical, general and specific.
For me they are like zen "koans", a source of inspiration, a guide.
