There is a pleasure in the pathless woods;
There is a rapture on the lonely shore;
There is socity, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more...
-Lord Byron
"I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor--such is my idea of happiness. And then, on top of all that, you for a mate, and children perhaps--what can more the heart of man desire?"
-Leo Tolstoy
"The sea's only gifts are harsh blows and, occasionally, the chance to feel strong. Now, I don't know much about the sea, but I do know that that's the way it is here. And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong, to measure yourself at least once, to find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions, facing blind, deaf stone alone, with nothing to help you but your own hands and your own head..."
- Primo Levi
Into the wild是一部很好的電影,
雖然我永遠沒有男主角那為了實踐自己的夢而能撇下所有的勇氣。
我們為了生活放棄了什麼,為了前進忽略了什麼,
因為這個社會告訴我們什麼而做了什麼又失去了什麼?
最後忘了自己是誰,忘了自己真正想要的,
忘了在大自然裡,我們渺小得可怕, 面對這個世界, 我們其實什麼也不是。
I've decided i'm going to live this life for some time to come.
the freedom and simple beauty is just too good to pass up...
Some may ask, "why act now? why not wait?"
The answer is clear. the world could wait no longer.
The core of man's spirit comes from new experiences.
When you want something in life, you just gotta reach out and grab it.
If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, then all possibility of life is destroyed.
But when you forgive, you love.
And when you love, God's light shines on you.
Happiness only real when shared.
What if I were smiling and running into your arms?
Would you see then what I see now?
