John Muir
Going to the woods is going home, for I suppose we came from the woods originally. But in some of nature's forests, the adventurous traveler seems a feeble, unwelcome creature; wild beasts and the weather trying to kill him, the rank, tangled vegetation, armed with spears and stinging needles, barring his way and making life a hard struggle.

Never stop fighting until you arrive...I've been amazed watching people who are not ready...I saw a boy of the crew purchasing javelins of them...If you don't have any confidence...Even cats grow lonely and anxious...I often quote myself...
