“He who seeks revenge should dig two graves.”

“No man goes further than he who knows not where he is going.”

“The man who seeks revenge digs two graves.”

“While some waste their time looking for the meaning of life, there are others who understand there is none and just get on enjoying the space they are renting.”

“The physical domain of the country had its counterpart in me. The trails I made led outward into the hills and swamps, but they led inward also. And from the study of things underfoot, and from reading and thinking, came a kind of exploration, myself and the land. In time the two became one in my mind. With the gathering force of an essential thing realizing itself out of early ground, I faced in myself a passionate and tenacious longing—to put away all thought forever, and all the trouble it brings, all but the nearest desire, direct and searching. To take the trail and not look back. Whether on foot, on snowshoes or by sled, into the summer hills and their late freezing shadows—a high blaze, a runner track in the snow would show where I had gone. Let the rest of mankind find me if it could.”

“Before you enbark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.”
