Adventure is not something you travel to find. It's something you take with you, or you're not going to find it when you arrive.

Diane Ackerman

Life becomes a lot simpler for a creative person when he or she finds the routine that works best.... get in the habit of going through the routine every day, and on some of those days, you're going to be lucky and have done some good work....

We tend to think of memories as monuments we once forged and may find intact beneath the weedy growth of years. But, in a real sense, memories are tied to and describe the present. Formed in an idiosyncratic way when they happened, they're also true to the moment of recall, including how you feel, all you've experienced, and new values, passions, and vulnerability. One never steps into the same stream of consciousness twice.

Diane Ackerman

People often ask me where they might go to find adventure. Adventure is not something you must travel to find, I tell them, it's something you take with you.

Diane Ackerman

I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.
