Cursed be the immortal that believed time was more precious than love.
I find that romance is for readers. I want adventures; they are for the living.
What is the universe but a lot of waves And a craving desire is a wave…
I didn’t realize that Saturday morning that I was going to embark on a similar voyage of my own. A life-changing journey that began when my mother asked me to drop everything and go to Apia on an errand. An errand that would take me into a strange new world where the rules of civilization as we know it were instinctively abandoned and forgotten until the full weight of its reality glared and glared and glared into my eyes, almost blinding me. I’m talking about the forbidden world of incest. The final frontier.

The only life worth living is the adventurous life. Of such a life the dominant characteristic is that it is unafraid. It is unafraid of what other people think...It does not adapt either its pace or its objectives to the pace and objectives of its neighbors. It thinks its own thoughts, it reads its own books. It develops its own hobbies, and it is governed by its own conscience. The herd may graze where it pleases or stampede where it pleases, but he who lives the adventurous life will remain unafraid when he finds himself alone.
Adventure,' then, is what might otherwise be called hardship if it were attempted in a different spirit. Turning a difficult task or a perilous journey into an adventure is largely a matter of telling yourself the right story about it, which is one thing that Lewis's child characters have learned from reading, 'the right books.
Only a few days earlier he had explained to her that he did not merely read books but traveled with them, that they took him to other countries and unfamiliar continents, and that with their help he was always getting to know new people, many of whom even became his friends.
Every mountain top is within reach if you just keep climbing.
I find that it is when an opinion is least wanted, that it is most needed.

I enjoy making all kinds of films. I love action films, war films, period films, adventure films.
Everyone wants me to do the comedy thing. But I always wanted to do action adventure. I want to be a guy like 007 who fights against the establishment. If they can make Bruce Willis believable as an action hero, I could do it, too.
I get mad when people call me an action movie star. Indiana Jones is an adventure film, a comic book, a fantasy.
Anytime I feel lost, I pull out a map and stare. I stare until I have reminded myself that life is a giant adventure, so much to do, to see.
