Adventurer: he that goes to meet whatever may come. Well, that is what we all do in the world one way or another.

H. Rider Haggard

The principal difference between an adventurer and a suicide is that the adventurer leaves himself a margin of escape (the narrower the margin the greater the adventure), a margin whose width and length may be determined by unknown factors but whose navigation is determined by the measure of the adventurer's nerve and wits. It is exhilarating to live by one's nerves or toward the summit of one's wits.

Tom Robbins

Let man only approach his own self with a deep respect, even reverence for all that the creative soul, the God-mystery within us, puts forth. Then we shall all be sound and free. Lewdness is hateful because it impairs our integrity and our proud being. The creative, spontaneous soul sends forth its promptings of desire and aspiration in us. These promptings are our true fate, which is our business to fulfill. A fate dictated from outside, from theory or from circumstance, is a false fate.

D. H. Lawrence

I am not an adventurer by choice but by fate.

Vincent Van Gogh

I think there are lots of those moments when we meet people - listeners at a meet-and-greet - and they tell us that they've changed their major to forensic science, or criminal justice, or they've become a victim's advocate.

Karen Kilgariff

To every good friend I send my greet feet; addio nitwit. Love true true true until the grave, if I live that long and do behave.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

All of this passes, and none of it means anything to me.It's all foreign to my fate, and even to fate as a whole. It'sjust unconsciousness, curses of protest when chance hurlsstones, echoes of unknown voices - a collectivemishmash of life.

Fernando Pessoa

Lee was too cool by nature to rage at fate; his manner was to raise an eyebrow and greet it laconically.

Philip Pullman

I'm not sure who I am. That's why I keep saying I'm an adventurer that goes out.

Shekhar Kapur

I would rather like to think of God as being a kind of adventurer - even as Wells thought about him - or perhaps as something within us making for some unknown purpose.

Jorge Luis Borges

I would describe myself as a "budding adventurer." I've transitioned away from being a straight-up backpacker, but I think I need another trip or two to get the adventurer degree.

Andrew Skurka

The principal difference between an adventurer and a suicide is that the adventurer leaves himself a margin of escape (the narrower the margin the greater the adventure)

Tom Robbins

If I notice a cute girl at the meet-and-greet, I might go and talk to her.

Justin Bieber

I love hugging people. I still hug everybody in my meet-and-greet lines.

Taylor Swift

In dreams we stand in this great democracy of the possible and there we are right pilgrims indeed. There we go forth to meet what we shall meet.

Cormac McCarthy

It's fear of the unknown. The unknown is what it is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that-it's all illusion. Unknown is what it is. Accept that it's unknown and it's plain sailing. Everything is unknown-then you're ahead of the game. That's what it is. Right?

John Lennon
