real adventure is defined best as a journey

from which you may not come back alive,

and certainly not as the same person.

Yvon Chouinard

-----

you take delight not in a city's

seven or seventy wonders,

but in the answer it gives

to a question of yours.

Italo Calvino

-----

before it's too late,

without thinking too much about it first,

pack a pillow and a blanket

and see as much of the world as you can.

you will not regret it.

Jhumpa Lahiri
