“We like to be out in nature so much because it has no opinion on us.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“A person's looking for a simple truth to live by, there it is. CHOICE. To refuse to passively accept what we've been handed by nature or society, but to choose for ourselves. CHOICE. That's the difference between emptiness and substance, between a life actually lived and a wimpy shadow cast on an office wall.”
― Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker

“Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.”
― John Muir

“Only a silly sober fool could think it; imagine gloating over such nonsense (because in one sense the drinker learns wisdom, in the words of Goethe or Blake or whichever it was "the pathway to wisdom lies through excess")”
― Jack Kerouac, Big Sur
