What would our lives be like without tests, odds against us, adventure, risk?

Richard Bach

I love Disneyland because the teacups are so awesome. But California Adventure is the best.

Joey King

I believe that to do anything in this world one needs a love for risk and adventure, and above all, to be able to do without what middle-class families call "future."

Joan Miro

Marriage is a risk; I think it's a great and glorious risk, as long as you embark on the adventure in the same spirit.

I must admit that the existence of Disneyland (which I know is real) proves that we are not living in Judaea in 50 AD. . . . Saint Paul would never go near Disneyland. Only children, tourists, and visiting Soviet high officials ever go to Disneyland. Saints do not.

Philip K. Dick

On the ridge where the great artist moves forward, every step is an adventure, an extreme risk. In that risk, however, and only there, lays the freedom of Art.

Merv Griffin

Disneyland is often called a magic kingdom because it combines fantasy and history, adventure and learning, together with every variety of recreation and fun designed to appeal to everyone.

Walt Disney

Disneyland is a work of love. We didn't go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.

Walt Disney

I've been to Disneyland, like, 10 times. I'm getting really tired of Disneyland.

Elon Musk

You cannot let a fear of failure or a fear of comparison or a fear of judgment stop you from doing what’s going to make you great. You cannot succeed without this risk of failure. You cannot have a voice without the risk of criticism and you cannot love without the risk of loss.

Charlie Day

Wherever we find news, excitement, mystery and adventure, there, too, we find the newspaper reporter. Always on the alert for something new, ready to risk his very life for a scoop and finding adventure in every corner of the globe.
