“I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list.”

“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”

“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.”

“All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.”

“Adventure is a path. Real adventure - self-determined, self-motivated, often risky - forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind - and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.”

'Boundaries' is the operative word here; real, implied, or imagined, if your body or mind crosses a boundary, you are doing it.”

“But in reality nothing is more damaging 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.”

“I see my path, but I don't know where it leads.”
