Sunday Quotes #10

When you get to the end of all the light you know and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown. Faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.
-Edward Teller-

If you could hear me, I would say our fingerprints never fade from the lives we touch.

Adventure is a path. Real adventure - self-determined, self-motivated, often risky, forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness.

Nothing will ever be black-and-white.
-Mark Jenkins-
