“In his or her life, each person can take one of two attitudes: to build or to plant. Builders may take years over their tasks, but one day they will finish what they are doing. Then they will stop, hemmed in by their own walls. Life becomes meaningless once the building is finished. Those who plant suffer the storms and the seasons and rarely rest. Unlike a building, a garden never stops growing. And by its constant demands on the gardner's attentions, it makes of the gardener's life a great adventure.” LifeYearsMayPersonsTwoSufferingAttentionAttitudeGrowingBuildingAdventureWallOne DayDemandGardenTasksSeasonsConstantPlantStormFinishedMeaninglessGardenerBuilderGreat Adventure Author:Paulo Coelho

“It [the Holocaust] is something like a religion.... The Intellectual Adventure is that we are reversing this entire trend within the space of one generation - that in a few years time no one will believe this particular legend anymore. They will say, as I do, that atrocities were committed. Yes, hundreds of thousands of people were killed, but there were no factories of death. All that is a blood libel against the German people.” PeopleYearsBelieveSpaceGenerationsBloodParticularAdventureIntellectualCommittedTrendsLegendsFactoriesHolocaustAtrocitiesLibel Author:David Irving
“The delight in gambits is a sign of chess youth... In very much the same way as the young man, on reaching his manhood years, lays aside the Indian stories and stories of adventure, and turns to the psychological novel, we with maturing experience leave off gambit playing and become interested in the less vivacious but withal more forceful manoeuvres of the position player.” MenWayYearsStoriesYoungTurnsNovelPlayerPositionYouthAdventureLaysDelightChessPsychologicalIndianYoung ManReachingMatureManhoodGambitVivacious Author:Emanuel Lasker

“Through the clouds of smoke I seemed to see all old Asia before me, and the adventures of past years behind me. A carnival of old camp-scenes danced before my mind’s eye, expiring like shooting-stars in the night—merry songs which came to an end among other mountains and the dying sound of strings and flutes. And I was surprised that I had not had enough of these things and that I was not tired of the light of camp-fires.” YearsMindEndsEnoughLightEyePastNightSongStarsSoundBehindsFireDyingAdventureSceneMountainTiredCloudsSmokeShootingStringsCampsAsiaMerryHad EnoughFlutesCarnivalsShooting Star Author:Sven Hedin
