“He who stands like a pilar dies in battle. He who bends like a reed is triumphant!”
“Life is like riding a bike. It is impossible to maintain your balance while standing still.”
“Change is just a bend in the road, not the end of the road.”
“Sometimes in life, you just have to bend over.”
“The wilderness is a place of rest—not in the sense of being motionless, for the lure, after all, is to move, to round the next bend. The rest comes in the isolation from distractions, in the slowing of the daily centrifugal forces that keep us off balance.”
