Adventure quote

Adventure is all about taking each experience, regardless if you know the outcome or not and facing it head on. It is about seeing the world from a different perspective, even if you've seen it a million times before. It is choosing to see the beauty from the ordinary and finding ways on how to do it differently.

We have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heroes of all time have gone before us -- the labyrinth is thoroughly known. We have only to follow the thread of the hero path, and where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence. And where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world.
