“The inhabitant of London could order by telephone, sipping his morning tea in bed, the various products of the whole earth -- he could at the same time and by the same means adventure his wealth in the natural resources and new enterprise of any quarter of the world -- he could secure forthwith, if he wished, cheap and comfortable means of transit to any country or climate without passport or other formality.” IfsWorldMeanCountryWholeEarthOrderPeaceNaturalWealthMorningAdventureProductsBedComfortableResourcesEconomicsClimateVariousLondonSecureTeaEnterpriseQuartersTelephonesNatural ResourcesPassportsFormalitySipping Author:John Maynard Keynes
“For the Second Amendment to do its job, the other side must become much better informed. I watched an action-adventure program last night that asserted that the famous AK-47 - the original peoples' rifle (and Authority's greatest mistake) - is rare in this country, and that the only ones here were originally smuggled in from the Middle East, or possibly from South America. The idiots who wrote this mess seemed unaware that after legal imports - mostly from China - were illegally cut off by executive order, they began to be manufactured here.” CountryActionJobsLastsAmericaNightOrderSidesMistakeCuttingMiddleAdventureAuthorityProgramOriginalsSouthChinaEastMessIdiotExecutivesMiddle EastAmendmentsLast NightSecond AmendmentRiflesImportsSouth AmericaExecutive OrdersAk 47 Author:L.

“We could encourage the best qualities of youthfulness - curiosity, adventure, resilience, the capacity for surprising insight simply by being more flexible about time, texts, and tests, by introducing kids into truly competent adults, and by giving each student what autonomy he or she needs in order to take a risk every now and then.

“Many people who say they're looking for love are merely looking for superficial comfort. They're not looking yet for the true romantic adventure.

“The true secret in being a hero lies in knowing the order of things. The swineherd cannot already be wed to the princess when he embarks on his adventures, nor can the boy knock on the witch's door when she is already away on vacation. The wicked uncle cannot be found out and foiled before he does something wicked. Things must happen when it is time for them to happen. Quests may not simply be abandoned; prophecies may not be left to rot like unpicked fruit; unicorns may go unrescued for a very long time, but not forever. The happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.” MayLongDoeStoriesHappensLyingOrderFoundLeftSecretBoysForeverKnowingDoorsMiddleAdventureHeroLong TimeFruitWickedWitchAbandonedVacationPrincessQuestsProphecyUnclesHappy EndingsUnicornBeing A HeroWicked Things Author:Peter S.

“You realize that people take drugs because it's the only real personal adventure left to them in their time-constrained, law-and-order, property-lined world.

“But in order to speak about all and to all, one has to speak of what all know and of the reality common to us all. The seas, rains, necessity, desire, the struggle against death--these are things that unite us all. We resemble one another in what we see together, in what we suffer together. Dreams change from individual, but the reality of the world is common to us all. Striving towards realism is therefore legitimate, for it is basically related to the artistic adventure.” KnowsWorldDreamRealityTogetherDesireSufferingOrderIndividualSpeakCommonStruggleSeaAdventureRainStriveArtisticRelatedRealism Author:Albert Camus
