August:Twelve

“The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to having an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”

                                                                          ~ Jon Krakauer,  Into the Wild

August:Eleven

“The frailty of everything revealed at last. Old and troubling issues resolved into nothingness and night. The last instance of a thing takes the class with it. Turns out the light and is gone. Look around you. Ever is a long time. But the boy knew what he knew. That ever is no time at all.”

                                                                                          ~ Cormac McCarthy, The Road

August:Ten

“Curiouser and curiouser.”

"we will be remembered more for what we destroy than what we create"

"all children alarm their parents, if only because you are forever 

expecting to encounter yourself"

                                                                              ~ Gore Vidal
