It's not profound literature, but it's an adventure story and quite a good adventure story, very unexpected coming from Brando. It tells us a lot about him.

We are trying to teach literature and literacy in a society which doesn't value it any more.

It's not a ladder we're climbing, it's literature we're producing. . . . We cannot possibly leave it to history as a discipline nor to sociology nor science nor economics to tell the story of our people.

Adventure is not outside a man; it is within.

We should come home from adventures, and perils, and discoveries every day with new experience and character

For adventure is not outside a man; it is within.
