Jim Harrison
“Barring love I'll take my life in large doses alone--rivers, forests, fish, grouse, mountains. Dogs.”
Jim Harrison, Wolf False Memoir

Norman Mailer
“The mark of mediocrity is to look for precedent.”
Norman Mailer

“The true test of liberty is the right to test it, the right to question it, the right to speak to my neighbors, to grab them by the shoulders and look into their eyes and ask, “Are we free?” I have thought that if we are free, the answer cannot hurt us. And if we are not free, must we not hear the answer?”
Gerry Spence, Give Me Liberty: Freeing Ourselves in the Twenty-First Century

J.R.R. Tolkien
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Kenneth Grahame
“There’s nothing––absolutely nothing––half so much worth doing as messing about in boats.”
Kenneth Grahame, The Wind In The Willows
