If I live...I will live unafraid...I will live so all can see,
I am not ashamed of who I am or what I'm designed to be!"
-The Great Mephisto

Who dares nothing, need hope for nothing.

The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes "sight-seeing."

Adventure: the pursuit of life

Some stories
can only be appreciated
by the storyteller
Some adventures
can only be preserved
in the heart of the adventurer.

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar
Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;

- The Hollow Men
