“We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner!”<\/b>\u00a0~\u00a0The Hobbit<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0J. R. R. Tolkien<\/a><\/p>\n

“Adventurer” — he that goes out to meet whatever may come. Well, that is what we all do in the world one way or another.<\/b>\u00a0~\u00a0Allan Quatermain<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0H. Rider Haggard<\/a><\/p>\n

His love of danger, his intense appreciation of the drama of an adventure–all the more intense for being held tightly in–his consistent view that every peril in life is a form of sport, a fierce game betwixt you and Fate, with Death as a forfeit, made him a wonderful companion at such hours.<\/b>\u00a0~\u00a0The Lost World<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Sir Arthur Conan Doyle<\/a><\/p>\n

It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.<\/b>\u00a0~\u00a0Jane Eyre<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Charlotte Bronte<\/a><\/p>\n

By this, he seemed to mean, not only that the most reliable and useful courage was that which arises from the fair estimation of the encountered peril, but that an utterly fearless man is a far more dangerous comrade than a coward.<\/b>\u00a0~\u00a0Moby Dick<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Herman Melville<\/a><\/p>\n
