I still remain convinced in view of what goes on in the world, we must each of us explore and prod the world, and enter into some kind of jeopardy.

~ Daniel Berrigan

But no task is more essential in the long run than finding a way to develop selves that will support evolution.  On this depend all other positive consequences.  If there is to be history, our minds must be prepared to make it. 

~ Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

Adventures are the ripples of change within one type of civilization…But given the vigor of adventure, sooner or later the leap of imagination reaches beyond the safe limits of the epoch…It then produces the dislocations and confusions marking the advent of new ideals for civilized effort…
Without adventure civilization is in full decay. 

~ Alfred Whitehead
