Christopher McCandless
“You think that I am stubborn, but you are even more stubborn than me. You had a wonderful chance on your drive back to see one of the greatest sights on earth, the Grand Canyon, something every American should see at least once in his life. But for some reason incomprehensible to me you wanted nothing but to bolt for home as quickly as possible, right back to the same situation which you see day after day after day. I fear you will follow this same inclination in the future and thus fail to discover all the wonderful things that God has placed around us to discover. Don't settle down and sit in one place. Move around, be nomadic, make each day a new horizon.”
Christopher McCandless

“I don't want to be dead. I haven't been loved this way for long enough.”
Jenny Downham, Before I Die

“Like a stone falling in a pond, circles and circles of love ripple through me.”
Jenny Downham, Before I Die

Matthew Arnold
“Is it so small a thing
To have enjoy’d the sun,
To have lived light in the spring,
To have loved, to have thought, to have done;
To have advanc’d true friends, and beat down baffling foes;

That we must feign a bliss
Of doubtful future date,
And, while we dream on this,
Lose all our present state,
And relegate to worlds yet distant our repose?”
Matthew Arnold

“Maybe the desire to make something beautiful is the piece of God that is inside each of us.”
Mary Oliver, Blue Horses: Poems
