Quote by Sarah Dessen

“It’s never too late,” she said. “But it is,” I told her, turning to look at her. “I don’t think I’d even know what to do if I did have another chance. I mean, what could I . . .” She shook her head. “It’s just one of those things,” she said. Her voice was surprisingly level and clear. “You know, that just happen. You don’t think or plan. You just do it.” There was something familiar about this, but it took me a second to realize where I’d heard it before. Then I remembered: it was what I’d said to her that night at the party, when I’d been trying to explain why I was holding Wes’s hand.”

No one, at least not anyone alive today, perhaps in the past, with more primitive ways in more primitive times, but life for most of us has passed a line, where almost everyone within those billions has had access to a chance of living a worthy existance. If it is not possible to play out a strategy to the extreme, then it is a flawed long-term strategy. There's only one way forward which promotes good health and an explosion of advancements. With reflection of where we've been and what it is we expect from near and distant futures.”

“The greatest athletes aren’t interested in the greatest risks. I mean, sometimes they’re taken, sometimes not, but those physical risks are a by-product of a much deeper desire to take creative risks. Don’t be fooled by the danger. In action and adventure sports, creativity is always the point.”
