Adventure Mode

Famous quotes containing the words adventure and/or mode:

    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won’t.
    William Least Heat Moon [William Trogdon] (b. 1939)

    I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
