Quote

So, I decided that whatever I was, wanted to do with my life, it would have to do, it would have to have something to do with the exploration and doing new things.

No one who has lived even for a fleeting moment for something other than life in its conventional sense and has experienced the exaltation that this feeling produces can then renounce his new freedom so easily.

I have a certain curiosity for life that drives me and propels me forward.

Possibly because I've lived so much of my life in difficult circumstances, I think I have a more profound understanding of life.

I just had this notion that I wanted to do the most extreme thing I could and I also very consciously wanted to do something that was very different from Mars because we were all very close.

The perplexity of life arises from there being too many interesting things in it for us to be interested properly in any of them.

You may feel singled out when adversity enters your life. You shake your head and wonder, 'Why me?'

I never want to possibly take another life in my hands.

The urge to reincarnate while still alive is near universal.
