“For those of us who take literature very seriously, picking up a work of fiction is the start of an adventure comparable in anticipatory excitement to what I imagine is felt by an athlete warming up for a competition, a mountain climber preparing for the ascent: it is the beginning of a process whose outcome is unknown, one that promises the thrill and elation of success but may as easily end in bitter disappointment. Committed readers realize at a certain point that literature is where we have learned a good part of the little we know about living.” KnowsMayLittlesEndsCertainLiteratureFeltProcessRealizingFictionImagineAdventureReaderPromiseMountainCompetitionAthleteCommittedDisappointmentBitterExcitementOutcomesPreparingThrillAscentClimbersElationMountain ClimbersBitter DisappointmentWarming Up Book:Why Translation Matters Source: Why Translation Matters
“I was a little hippie on a world backpacking adventure, and suddenly I became a vampire princess. I still find it hard to believe that it is real. I feel ludicrously lucky to have been chosen to play such a compassionate, complex character for my first film, and I am so grateful to all the beautiful people who made it possible for me. It was a dream come true. I felt like Cinderella every day, going to work with this amazing team on this dream script.

“If somebody actually just walks up to you and says, ‘Hey, do you want to do something out of the ordinary?’ there might be a little reluctance at first. But deep down, you want to do it. It’s adventure. That’s what brings people in front of the camera. I also feel that when you’re in your own environment that’s where you experiment, where you do all kinds of crazy stuff. So I thought, ‘Okay, let’s just see what happens if I allow that to unfold.’” PeopleIfsWantFeelsFirstsKindLittlesMightHappensStuffWalksEnvironmentCrazyFrontsAdventureOrdinaryOkayCamerasExperimentsAll KindsHeyUp To YouDeep DownReluctance Author:Oliver Herring

“Yes, it looks bleak. But you are still alive now. You are alive with all the others, in this present moment. And because the truth is speaking in the work, it unlocks the heart. And there’s such a feeling and experience of adventure. It’s like a trumpet call to a great adventure. In all great adventures there comes a time when the little band of heroes feels totally outnumbered and bleak, like Frodo in Lord of the Rings or Pilgrim in Pilgrim’s Progress. You learn to say ‘It looks bleak. Big deal, it looks bleak.’” FeelsLooksHeartLittlesStillsMomentsFeelingsBigsDealsLordAliveProgressAdventureHeroTruth IsBandRingsPresent MomentWorking ItBig DealTrumpetsPilgrimBleakThere Comes A TimeFrodoGreat Adventure Author:Joanna Macy
“Part of the excitement was just seeing how the world would respond. I kind of like uncertainty to some extent, because it's a little bit of suspense and excitement and adventure, almost, right? And you can learn a lot even if things don't work out. But not everyone likes adventure. A lot of people seem to be against uncertainty, actually. In all areas of life.” PeopleIfsWorldKindLittlesSeemsBitsSeeingAdventureLittle BitAreasWork OutLikesSuspenseUncertaintyExcitement Author:Paul Buchheit
