To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. -Oscar Wilde

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous 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. 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. -Christopher McCandless


I put these quotes on my facebook wall so I can remind myself every day of the things I am inside, that I am failing to live out in my life. I hope that someday I can look at those quotes and say, yeah, that's me.
