Peter Heller
Maybe freedom really is nothing left to lose. You had it once in childhood, when it was okay to climb a tree, to paint a crazy picture and wipe out on your bike, to get hurt. The spirit of risk gradually takes its leave. It follows the wild cries of joy and pain down the wind, through the hedgerow, growing ever fainter. What was that sound? A dog barking far off? That was our life calling to us, the one that was vigorous and undefended and curious.
Peter Heller, Hell or High Water: Surviving Tibet's Tsangpo River

Thomas Jefferson
Brute animals are the most healthy, and they are exposed to all weather, and of men, those are healthiest who are the most exposed.
Thomas Jefferson
