“We women have lived too much with closure: "If he notices me, if I marry him, if I get into college, if I get this work accepted, if I get this job" -- there always seems to loom the possibility of something being over, settled, sweeping clear the way for contentment. This is the delusion of a passive life. When the hope for closure is abandoned, when there is an end to fantasy, adventure for women will begin.”
― Carolyn G. Heilbrun, Writing a Woman's Life

“One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.”
― Joan of Arc

“For we have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heros of all time have gone before us...”
― Joseph Campbell

“Live, travel, adventure, bless, and don't be sorry.”
― Jack Kerouac
