Christopher J. McCandless- Into the Wild

I read somewhere how important it is in life, not necessarily to be strong, but to feel strong

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous 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. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”
“Some people feel like they don’t deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.”
“The core of mans’ spirit comes from new experiences.”
“If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, then all possibility of life is destroyed.”
“Rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness… give me truth.”
“…henceforth will learn to accept my errors, however great they be…”
“I have had a happy life and thank the Lord. Goodbye and may God bless all!”
“Happiness is not real unless it is shared…”
