But in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure.

(...)how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong, but to feel strong, to measure yourself at least once, to find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions, facing the blind, deaf stone alone with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head.

...there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

I read somewhere, how important it is in life, to not necessarily be strong. But to feel strong.

The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure.

Happiness real only when shared.

Happiness is only real if shared.
