"And the purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience. You can do that only if you have curiosity, and unquenchable spirit of adventure."
–– Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962), American author, activist, diplomat, political figure, and First Lady. Quote from: You Learn by Living. 1960.

"If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine; it is lethal."
–– Paulo Coelho (b. 1947), Brazilian writer
"Because of the routines we follow, we often forget that life is an ongoing adventure ... and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art: to bring all our energies to each encounter, to remain flexible enough to notice and admit when what we expected to happen did not happen. We need to remember that we are created creative and can invent new scenarios as frequently as they are needed."
–– Maya Angelou (1928-2014), American poet, memoirist, and civil rights activist
