“No, life cannot be understood flat on a page. It has to be lived; a person has to get out of his head, has to fall in love, has to memorize poems, has to jump off bridges into rivers, has to stand in an empty desert and whisper sonnets under his breath... We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting and the climax and resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it?" ―Donald Miller, Through Painted Deserts

"Come
to the woods, for here is rest. There is no repose like that of the
green deep woods. Here grow the wallflower and the violet. The squirrel
will come and sit upon your knee, the logcock will wake you in the
morning. Sleep in forgetfulness of all ill. Of all the upness accessible
to mortals, there is no upness comparable to the mountains."
“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your
eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always
long to return.”
― Leonardo da Vinci
