“Als het verkeerd is om een menselijk wezen in elkaar te slaan, hem zijn nagels uit te trekken, hem onvrijwillig aan medische experimenten bloot te stellen, hem zonder proces op te sluiten of ter dood te brengen, is het net zo goed moreel fout om een dier op deze manier te behandelen. Hoe hoger ontwikkeld het dier is, des te erger kan het lijden, en aangezien het wordt gehinderd door de dubbele handicap dat het onze taal niet spreekt en geen stemrecht heeft, hebben wij een dubbele plicht om het te beschermen. Als dieren onnodig verwondingen oplopen, gevangen worden genomen of sterven, is dat de smet op ons allemaal.”
Adrian House, The Great Safari: The Lives of George and Joy Adamson, Famous for Born Free

Stéphane Audeguy
“Men are destroyed, and destroy each other, over basic things – money or hatred. On the other hand a really complicated riddle never pushed anyone to violence; either you found the answer or gave up looking. Clouds were riddles too, but dangerously simple ones. If you zoomed in on one part of a cloud and took a photograph, then enlarged the image, you would find that a cloud’s edges seemed like another cloud, and those edges yet another, and so on. Every part of a cloud, in other words, reiterates the whole. Therefore each cloud might be called infinite, because its very surface is composed of other clouds, and those clouds of still other clouds, and so forth. Some learn to lean over the abyss of these brainteasers; others lose their balance and tumble into its eternal blackness.”
STEPHANE AUDEGUY, La teoría de las nubes

“Adventure is not in a guidebook and Beauty is not on the map. Seek and ye shall find.”
Terry Russell

Tom Montgomery Fate
“I would like to learn how to do that--to recognize the gift of enough.”
Tom Montgomery Fate, Cabin Fever: A Suburban Father's Search for the Wild

Jon Krakauer
“I think maybe part of what got him into trouble was that he did too much thinking. Sometimes he tried too hard to make sense of the world, to figure out why people were bad to each other so often.”
Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild
