Don > Don's Quotes

“There lives and there leaps in me A love of the lowly things of earth, And a passion to be free. To pitch my tent with no prosy plan, To range and to change at will, To mock at the mastership of man, To seek Adventure’s thrill, Carefree to be, as a bird that sings, To go my own sweet way. Robert Service”
― Alastair Humphreys, Moods of Future Joys: Around the World by Bike Part One: From England to South Africa

“Habit is necessary. It is the habit of having habits, of turning a trail into a rut, that must be incessantly fought against if one is to remain alive ... one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in the big things, and happy in small ways.”
― Edith Wharton
