― G.I. Gurdjieff

Thank you.

The book Undiscovered Country: A Spiritual Adventure by Kathryn C. Hulme (1966) seems to be a memoir by one of his students and a different version of that quote is listed in the review.

"This is most important day for you. After you assimilate what I'm giving, you will be responsible for all your acts, even for our unconscious acts. Beginning then, you will take a position of responsibility. A record is kept for each. All you do is written in red or black in the angel Gabriel's book. Not for everyone is its record kept, but only for those who have taken the position of responsibility. There is a law of sins; now you are subjects to this law."
