I have always loved blizzards, if only because of the driving experience – which is definitely an acquired taste.

There is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

On life’s vast ocean diversely we sail. Reasons the card, but passion the gale.

I’ve always been a bit of a gypsy.

Aviation offered such fun as crossing the continent in planes large and small, trying the whirling rotors of an autogiro, making record flights. With these activities came opportunity to know women everywhere who shared my conviction that there is so much women can do in the modern world and should be permitted to do irrespective of their sex.

If you do not expect the unexpected you will not find it, for it is not to be reached by search or trail.

Adventure is not outside man; it is within.

If you think it’s going to rain, it will.

I shall make that trip. I shall go to Korea.

Hong Kong is a wonderful, mixed-up town where you’ve got great food and adventure. First and foremost, it’s a great place to experience China in a relatively accessible way.

You can’t get too much winter in the winter.

I think I mainly climb mountains because I get a great deal of enjoyment out of it. I never attempt to analyze these things too thoroughly, but I think that all mountaineers do get a great deal of satisfaction out of overcoming some challenge which they think is very difficult for them, or which perhaps may be a little dangerous.

I’m not someone who sits at home and doesn’t like to go out, doesn’t like to watch movies. I like to live my life.

There’s so many bits on a car these days it’s hard to know where everything is. You have a bit of an idea but if you are behind someone and you suddenly change direction it’s hard to know exactly where the car is.

I spent more time on dark ships in danger zones than any other woman in the world.

The weather and my mood have little connection. I have my foggy and my fine days within me; my prosperity or misfortune has little to do with the matter.

A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.

Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.

In all my wild mountaineering, I have enjoyed only one avalanche ride; and the start was so sudden, and the end came so soon, I thought but little of the danger that goes with this sort of travel, though one thinks fast at such times.

People will visit Mars, they will settle mars, and we should because it’s cool.

The Edge… there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

I got to Africa. I got the opportunity to go and learn, not about any animal, but chimpanzees. I was living in my dream world, the forest in Gombe National Park in Tanzania. It was Tanganyika when I began.

The Eskimos had fifty-two names for snow because it was important to them: there ought to be as many for love.

I like the idea of making a big, fun, adventure type of movie.

Rebellion is what you make of it. When you’ve been on a tour bus for two months straight, and then you get in your car and drive wherever you want, that can feel rebellious.

Juvenile crime is not naturally born in the boy, but is largely due either to the spirit of adventure that is in him, to his own stupidity, or to his lack of discipline, according to the nature of the individual.

I’m not a parenting expert. In fact, I’m not sure that I even believe in the idea of ‚parenting experts.‘ I’m an engaged, imperfect parent and a passionate researcher. I’m an experienced mapmaker and a stumbling traveler. Like many of you, parenting is by far my boldest and most daring adventure.

To be able to travel the world, especially to places I never thought I’d be… it’s really, you know, still fascinating for me.

I love travelling full stop – so while I’ve had some harrowing instances, I never look at them negatively. Memories are made when you’re travelling – not when you’re chained to your desk.

Long stormy spring-time, wet contentious April, winter chilling the lap of very May; but at length the season of summer does come.

A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.

I’m someone who likes plowing new ground, then walking away from it. I get bored easily. For me, the big thrill comes with the discovering.

All the world lies warm in one heart, yet the Sierra seems to get more light than other mountains. The weather is mostly sunshine embellished with magnificent storms, and nearly everything shines from base to summit – the rocks, streams, lakes, glaciers, irised falls, and the forests of silver fir and silver pine.

The Congo was the most difficult shoot of my life but was also maybe the greatest adventure of my life.

But in truth, should I meet with gold or spices in great quantity, I shall remain till I collect as much as possible, and for this purpose I am proceeding solely in quest of them.

I love the scents of winter! For me, it’s all about the feeling you get when you smell pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, gingerbread and spruce.

Predicting rain doesn’t count. Building arks does.

Adventures are to the adventurous.

The long, dull, monotonous years of middle-aged prosperity or middle-aged adversity are excellent campaigning weather for the devil.

I’ve been away since I was pretty much eight, traveling to the car tracks, and then going to Europe and traveling more.

Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get.

If I wished to do something, even if I couldn’t find anyone who wanted to make the effort with me, I would go out solo climbing. I did find solo climbing very challenging and a little frightening. You knew that you were completely on your own, and you had to overcome all the problems and possible dangers.

So comes snow after fire, and even dragons have their ending!

Live dangerously and you live right.

Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.

I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.

I’ve been here before and will come again, but I’m not going this trip through.

I’m more of an adventurous type than a relationship type.

Trees go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!

If you had your life to live over again, do it overseas.

If you’re embarking around the world in a hot-air balloon, don’t forget the toilet paper.

Exploration by real people inspires us.

I’m leaving because the weather is too good. I hate London when it’s not raining.

Life is either a great adventure or nothing.

The Bay of Bengal is hit frequently by cyclones. The months of November and May, in particular, are dangerous in this regard.

Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.

Eventually you won’t think of ‚the Internet business.‘ You’ll think of it more like news, weather, sports, but even that taxonomy isn’t clear.

Thaw with her gentle persuasion is more powerful than Thor with his hammer. The one melts, the other breaks into pieces.

I’ve been everywhere in the world, seen everything, had everything a man can have.

An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered.

What I enjoy most is doing something I’ve never done before.
