“I enjoy its beauty and the vagrant life I lead, more keenly all the time. I prefer the saddle to the streetcar and star-sprinkled sky to a roof, the obscure and difficult trail, leading into the unknown, to any paved highway, and the deep peace of the wild to the discontent bred by cities.”
― Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

“At least when you were silent, you didn’t make any new enemies.”
― V.C. Andrews, Flowers in the Attic

“Whatever happens to you, embrace it, the good and the bad equally. Death is just one more thing to be embraced.”
― Kate Atkinson, Life After Life

“Why did I think back then, that happiness was always just ahead in the future, when I would be an adult, able to make my own decisions, go my own way, be my own person? Why had it seemed that being a child was never enough?”
― V.C. Andrews, Flowers in the Attic
