INTO THE WILD: quotes
Happiness is only real when shared.
When you want something in life, you just gotta
reach out and grab it.
If we admit that human life can be ruled by
reason, then all possibility of life is destroyed.
I read
somewhere... how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong... but to
feel strong.
