“To my mind, voyaging through wildernesses, be they full of woods or waves, is essential to the growth and maturity of the human spirit. It is in the wilderness that you really learn who you are.

― Steven Callahan, Adrift: Seventy-Six Days Lost at Sea

― Michael Finkel, The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit

“I am enough. I am more than enough”
― Matthew Perry, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing
