Jon Krakauer
“The sea's only gifts are harsh blows, and occasionally the chance to feel strong. Now I don't know much about the sea, but I do know that that's the way it is here. And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong. To measure yourself at least once. To find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions. Facing the blind death stone alone, with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head.”
Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

Hjalmar Söderberg
“People want to be loved; failing that admired; failing that feared; failing that hated and despised. They want to evoke some sort of sentiment. The soul shudders before oblivion and seeks connection at any price.”
Hjalmar Soderberg, Doctor Glas

Jon Krakauer
“That's what was great about him. He tried. Not many do.”
Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild
