“كلا .. لست أهوى القراءة لأكتب، ولا أهوى القراءة لازداد عمراً في تقدير الحساب .. وإنما أهوى القراءة لأن عندي حياة واحدة في هذه الدنيا، وحياة واحدة لا تكفيني، ولا تحرك كل ما في ضميري من بواعث الحركة. والقراءة دون غيرها هي التي تعطيني أكثر من حياة واحدة في مدى عمر الانسان الواحد، لأنها تزيد هذه الحياة من ناحية العمق، وإن كانت لا تطيلها بمقادير الحساب.
فكرتك أنت فكرة واحدة .. شعورك أنت شعور واحد .. خيالك أنت خيال فرد إذا قصرته عليك .. ولكنك إذا لاقيت بفكرتك فكرة أخرى، أو لاقيت بشعورك شعوراً آخر، أو لاقيت بخيالك خيال غيرك .. فليس قصارى الأمر أن الفكرة تصبح فكرتين، أو أن الشعور يصبح شعورين، أو أن الخيال يصبح خيالين .. كلا .. وإنما تصبح الفكرة بهذا التلاقي مئات من الفكر في القوة والعمق والامتداد. [..] لا أحب الكتب لأنني زاهد في الحياة .. ولكنني أحب الكتب لأن حياة واحدة لا تكفيني .. ومهما يأكل الانسان فإنه لن يأكل بأكثر من معدة واحدة، ومهما يلبس فإنه لن يلبس على غير جسد واحد، ومهما يتنقل في البلاد فإنه لن يستطيع أن يحل في مكانين. ولكنه بزاد الفكر والشعور والخيال يستطيع أن يجمع الحيوات في عمر واحد، ويستطيع أن يضاعف فكره وشعوره وخياله كما يتضاعف الشعور بالحب المتبادل، وتتضاعف الصورة بين مرآتين”
― عباس محمود العقاد, أنا

“make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. 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 conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, 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. 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. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.”
― Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

― Simone de Beauvoir, Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter
