quotes by Jon Krakauer
"You are wrong if you think Joy emanates only...from human relationships. God has placed it all around us...and all you have to do is reach for it."
— Jon Krakauer (Into the Wild)

"When a young person is moved by a passion and feels compelled to go on this sort of quest, I think you have to let him. You can't stop him. In our culture we don't have formal rights of passage like in some ancient cultures. Subjecting yourself to risk... may be something you have to go through to be a man or a woman."
