Adults are locked into car payments and divorces and work. They haven't got time to think fresh.
Gary PaulsenIf books could have more, give more, be more, show more, they would still need readers who bring to them sound and smell and light and all the rest that canโt be in books. The book needs you.
Gary PaulsenWe donโt like to think of ourselves as preyโit is a lessening thoughtโbut the truth is that in our arrogance and so-called knowledge we forget that we are not unique. We are part of nature as much as other animals, and some animalsโsharks, fever-bearing mosquitoes, wolves and bear, to name but a fewโperceive us as a food source, a meat supply, and simply did not get the memo about how humans are superior. It can be shocking, humbling, painful, very edifying and sometimes downright fatal to run into such an animal.
