“But I’ll tell you what hermits realize. If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you’ll come to understand that you’re connected with everything.” - Alan Watts

security is mostly a superstition.
it does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.
avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
to keep our faces toward change
and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate
is strength undefeatable.

here’s to the crazy ones. the misfits. the rebels. the trouble-makers. the round heads in the square holes. the ones who see things differently. they’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. you can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. because they change things. they push the human race forward. and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Jack Kerouac

travel is more than the seeing of sights;
it is a change that goes on,
deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.

our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. but no matter, the road is life.

Jack Kerouac

i take a few steps and stop. i savor the total oblivion into which i have fallen. i am between two cities, one knows nothing of me, the other knows me no longer.

Sartre

quero assistir ao sol nascer

ver as águas dos rios correr

ouvir os pássaros cantar

eu quero nascer, quero viver…

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
in any direction you choose.

Dr. Seuss

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can’t be any large-scale revolution until there’s a personal revolution, on an individual level. It’s got to happen inside first.

Jim Morrison
