"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Mark Twain
"But the first salt wind from the east, the first sight of a lighthouse set boldly on its outer rock, the flash of a gull, the waiting procession of seaward-bound firs on an island made me feel solid and definite again, instead of a poor, incoherent being. Life was resumed and anxious living blew away as if it had not been. I could not breathe deep enough or long enough. It was a return to happiness."
Sarah Orne Jewett
