Adventure upon all the tickets in the lottery, and you lose for certain; and the greater the number of your tickets the nearer your approach to this certainty.
I really wanted to write an adventure story, a murder-mystery that was set during the gold-rush years in New Zealand.
Railway termini are our gates to the glorious and the unknown. Through them we pass out into adventure and sunshine, to them, alas! we return.
Men want a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue. That is what is written in their hearts. That is what little boys play at. That is what men’s movies are about. You just see it. It is undeniable.
Space offers extraordinary potential for commerce and adventure, for new innovations and new tests of will. As Americans, we can’t help but reach for the stars. It’s our nature. It’s our destiny.
I’m still a kid inside, and adventure is adventure wherever you find it.
It’s never too late in life to have a genuine adventure.
I get up in the morning looking for an adventure.
Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty.
A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind.
I suppose all fictional characters, especially in adventure or heroic fiction, at the end of the day are our dreams about ourselves. And sometimes they can be really revealing.
It seems to me that whatever path you choose to take, in the end its up to each of us to try, test and live what we find out, to apply it and see what actually works, and that’s the exciting and challenging part of this very real adventure.
All adventure is now reactionary.
Liberalism, on the other hand, regards life as an adventure in which we must take risks in new situations, in which there is no guarantee that the new will always be the good or the true, in which progress is a precarious achievement rather than inevitability.
To me, adventure has always been to me the connections and bounds you create with people when you’re there. And you can have that anywhere.
I was never a good student. I had to be dragged into kindergarten. It was hard to sit and listen to somebody talk. I wanted to be out, educated by experience and adventure, and I didn’t know how to express that.
Seven years ago, when I started free soloing long, hard routes in Yosemite – climbing without a rope, gear or a partner – I did it because it seemed like the purest, most elegant way to scale big walls. Climbing, especially soloing, felt like a grand adventure, but I never dreamed it could be a profession.
I would let climbing slide away if I had to maintain my relationship with my family. Because it really is the big adventure.
Our nuclear weapons are meant purely as a deterrent against nuclear adventure by an adversary.
I felt proud that the baby’s first real adventure should be as a protest against the insanity of world annihilation. Already a certain percentage of unborn children are doomed by fallout, and no one knows the cumulative effects of what is already poisoning the air and sea.
Adventure is worthwhile in itself.
Love is an adventure and a conquest. It survives and develops, like the universe itself, only by perpetual discovery.
I think ‘Lost in Space’ certainly shifted from being an ensemble adventure series about a family facing the unknown alien environment to this trio of comedians – Dr. Smith, the Robot, and Will Robinson being the straight guy. It definitely changed its tone over the three seasons and 84 episodes we did.
My primary goal of hacking was the intellectual curiosity, the seduction of adventure.
The poet is a madman lost in adventure.
When I went to California Institute of the Arts, I was classmates with a lot of like-minded weirdoes, some of who have gone on to create other cartoon shows-J.G. Quintel, ‘Regular Show;’ Pen Ward, ‘Adventure Time.’ We were all friends in school and pushed each other and made each other laugh.
Older men are wiser and that is much cooler to me. I’ve never been one for going out clubbing or getting off my head, so I always gravitated to men who were similar. They just tended to be older. I think you have more of an adventure with an older man. And a happier journey.
I doubt whether the world holds for any one a more soul-stirring surprise than the first adventure with ice-cream.
Sometimes just being on a beach with my loved ones is all the adventure I need. I am a happy camper and continue to be a citizen of the world. I have yet to discover other cultures, other peoples’ dreams and treasures. I will always be a traveler who is discovering beautiful Gaia.
Juvenile crime is not naturally born in the boy, but is largely due either to the spirit of adventure that is in him, to his own stupidity, or to his lack of discipline, according to the nature of the individual.
What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money.
We love because it’s the only true adventure.
Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science.
I’ve taken a lot of risks through the years, but I always followed my instincts and always explored new opportunities. The biggest reward has been having an idea and being able to make it a reality. My passions always lead the way – travel and adventure, fitness, art, and home.
I have learned more about love, selflessness and human understanding from the people I have met in this great adventure in the world of AIDS than I ever did in the cutthroat, competitive world in which I spent my life.
I have this fantasy of my older days, painting or sculpting or making things. I have this fantasy of a bike trip to Chile. I have this fantasy of flying into Morocco. But right now, it’s about getting the work done and getting home to family. I have an adventure every morning, getting up.
Marriage is a risk; I think it’s a great and glorious risk, as long as you embark on the adventure in the same spirit.
How indifferent are men to this carpenter or that fisherman, who has no word to speak of adventure or of wealth, but has only the word of God to proclaim, and has no credentials but that he comes in the name of the Lord.
Marriage is really an exciting adventure.
When launching a product called an Energy Drink and named Red Bull, a product that stimulates body and mind, it is a short step to the roots where Red Bull came from. We have been doing this for 20 years – now it’s called adventure sports, extreme sports, and outdoor sports.
The thing I always liked about ‘Pee-wee’s Big Adventure’ was Pee-wee’s, obviously, an oddball, but nobody in that universe points a finger at him and goes, ‘Look at the weirdo!’ I think that’s why weirdo, arty kids like it so much: because it’s sort of like a utopia.
I was gifted with a life that was full of adventure. I’ve always believed, if you’re gifted, that it’s incumbent not to think about giving something back.
I had a project for my life which involved 10 years of wandering, then some years of medical studies and, if any time was left, the great adventure of physics.
Adventure Bay is a convenient and safe place for any number of ships to take in wood and water during the summer months: but in the winter, when the southerly winds are strong, the surf, on all parts of the shore, makes the landing exceedingly troublesome.
I am very excited, as ‘Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi’ is my first show on television, and I am thrilled about this new adventure in my career. It is an honour to be associated with such a fantastic team.
I adore this adventure, I adore working with youth. For me it’s a daily challenge, working to help these youths realize their dreams.
The great living experience for every man is his adventure into the woman. The man embraces in the woman all that is not himself, and from that one resultant, from that embrace, comes every new action.
You have to have a spirit of courage and adventure, or else you’re going to find it tough to get up in the morning sometimes.
For my brother and me, there would be no ‘Field of Dreams’-like playing catch, no nature lessons with our old man. Instead, it would be a darkened theater, the projector light coming on, and a new adventure unfolding.
Death is just life’s next big adventure.
It’s as great a part of the human adventure to invent things as to understand them. John Randall wasn’t a great scientist, but he was a great inventor. There’s been lots more like him, and it’s a shame they don’t get Nobel Prizes.
If you crave a bit of adventure and the unknown, Singapore is not for you.
‘I Am Number Four’ is an action-packed adventure entwined with a romantic story. I play the role of John Smith. John wants to be a normal kid, but he is from a different planet and he has been given this destiny of becoming a warrior.
I was Boots The Monkey in ‘Dora The Explorer Live Dora’s Pirate Adventure,’ and it was the greatest!
Life experience is what defines our character, even if it means getting your heart broken or being lied to. You know, you need the downs to appreciate the ups. Going on the adventure or taking that risk is important.
I’m down for adventure and up for anything.
I am a reserved guy and need somebody to pep me up every day, Upsi does that job perfectly. She is very vivacious and outspoken, so we blend very well. We both love travelling, and we have a thing for adventure. We love being outdoors and like to ride our own boat rather than being rowed by someone else.
