a line in the movie "into the wild" that struck me…
"The sea’s only gifts are harsh blows, and, occasionally, the chance to
feel strong. Now, I don’t know much about the sea, but I do know that
that’s the way it is here. And I also know how important it is in life
not necessarily to be strong, but to feel strong, to measure yourself
at least once, to find yourself at least once in the most ancient of
human conditions, facing the blind, deaf stone alone with nothing to
help you but your hands and your own head."
