"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."
– Chris McCandless

"There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself."
- Henry David Thoreau
--------------------
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary"
-Steve Jobs
--------------------
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."
- Henry David Thoreau
--------------------
"We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. "
- T. S. Eliot
--------------------
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
--------------------
“Not all those who wander are lost.”
- J.R.R. Tolkien
--------------------
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
- Mark Twain
--------------------
“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.”
– Bill Bryson
--------------------
There's no such thing as an unwritten life. Just a badly written one... You know what we're gonna do? We're gonna live like we're telling the best story in the whole world. Are you ready? - The Brothers Bloom
