>>484348I actually dont have any strong opinions about him, I like the guy, but he made some questionable choices, that said, there is a part about edward rues in into the wild
"At eighteen, in a dream, he saw himself plodding through jungles, chinning up the ledges of cliffs, wandering through the romantic waste places of the world. No man with any of the juices of boyhood in him has forgotten those dreams. The peculiar thing about Everett Ruess was that he went out and did the things he dreamed about, not simply for two-weeks' vacation in the civilized and trimmed wonderlands, but for months and years in the very midst of wonder....
Deliberately he punished his body, strained his endurance, tested his capacity for strenuousness. He took out deliberately over trails that Indians and old timers warned him against. He tackled cliffs that more than once left him dangling halfway between talus and rim""
And those lines significantly changed my outlook on life.
