“No matter how nice the place is where you live, you need to experience life and the world.”
― Terri Irwin, MY STEVE

“Entirely taken up by the present, I could remember nothing; I had no distinct notion of myself as a person, nor had I the least idea of what had just happened to me. I did not know who I was, nor where I was; I felt neither pain, fear, nor anxiety. I watched my blood flowing as I might have watched a stream, without even thinking that the blood had anything to do with me. I felt throughout my whole being such a wonderful calm, that whenever I recall this feeling I can find nothing to compare with it in all the pleasures that stir our lives.”
― Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Reveries of the Solitary Walker

“Your perspective on life comes from the cage you were held captive in.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“My books promised me that life wasn’t just made up of workday tasks and prosaic things. The world is bigger and more colorful and more important than that.”
― Laura Amy Schlitz
