| Quote:I don't know what the new Ford will be called. Probably something like the 'Ford Untamed Wilderness Adventure.' In the TV commercials, it will be shown splashing through rivers, charging up rocky mountainsides, swinging on vines, diving off cliffs, racing through the surf, and fighting giant sharks hundreds of feet beneath the ocean surface -- all the daredevil things that cars do in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, where nobody ever drives on an actual world. In fact, the interstate highways in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, having been abandoned by humans, are teeming with deer, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife species that have fled from the forests to avoid being run over by nature-seekers in multi-ton vehicles barreling through the underbrush at 50 miles per hour.[Dave Barry] Quote:An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered.[GK Chesterton] Quote:Marriage is the only adventure open to the cowardly.[Francois Marie Arouet (Voltaire)] Quote:Only those who are fit to live do not fear to die. And none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same great adventure.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:You must pray that the way be long, full of adventures and experiences. [Hippocrates] Quote:The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them. [Alfred North Whitehead] Quote:It is not advisable, James, to venture unsolicited opinions. You should spare yourself the embarrassing discovery of their exact value to your listener. [Ayn Rand] Quote:Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure. [Helen Keller] Quote:Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.... Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
