Adventure Quotes

Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.

I dream. Sometimes I think that's the only right thing to do

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

My first trip to Brazil, with no money or idea where I was staying, I had a revelation that just said "F**k it."

Nothing speaks to the heart of man like a good tale of adventure.

You have returned for a reason. Your adventure begins now.

Work like you don’t need money, love like you’ve never been hurt, and dance like no one’s watching.

The the bottom line is this, an adventure is when the possibility you will die exists.

The imagination is not our escape. On the contrary, the imagination is the place we are all trying to get to.

The soul of the journey is liberty, perfect liberty, to think, feel, do just as one pleases.

Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you.


If you’re not pushing yourself beyond the comfort zone, if you’re not constantly demanding more from yourself—expanding and learning as you go—you’re choosing a numb existence. You’re denying yourself an extraordinary trip.

We think that if we had every comfort available to us, we’d be happy. We equate comfort with happiness. And now we’re so comfortable we’re miserable. There’s no struggle in our lives. No sense of adventure. What I’ve found is that I’m never more alive than when I’m pushing and I’m in pain, and I’m struggling for high achievement, and in that struggle I think there’s a magic.

You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure. Never forget your Personal Legend. Never forget your dreams. Your silent heart will guide you. Be silent now. It is the possibility of a dream that makes life interesting. You can choose between being a victim of destiny or an adventurer who is fighting for something important.

It is fatal to know too much at the outset. Boredom comes as quickly to the traveler who knows his route as to the novelist who is over certain of his plot.

Because of our routines we forget that life is an ongoing adventure.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

The most interesting people to talk to are the people who love to travel. They talk about experiences, not material possessions.

To be given a book is like being given a ship: you become a Christopher Columbus and there's no saying what you'll find across the ocean.

Why fear death? It is the most beautiful adventure in life.
