More quotes by Tim Cahill
Mystery is a resource, like coal or gold, and its preservation is a fine thing.
Tim Cahill
An adventure is never an adventure while it's happening. Challenging experiences need time to ferment, and adventure is simply physical and emotional discomfort recollected in tranquillity.
Tim Cahill
I write early in the morning. I just wake up whenever I feel awake and I have to be sitting and writing pretty soon after that. If I take too long to think about the impossibility of what I'm trying to, I'll be defeated by it.
Tim Cahill
My idea of a vacation is staying home and doing short day hikes, floating the river and things like that.
Tim Cahill
Publishing your work is important. Even if you are giving a piece to some smaller publication for free, you will learn something about your writing. The editor will say something, friends will mention it. You will learn.

My first book was called 'Buried Dreams,' about a serial-killer, which was probably about ten years ahead of the serial-killer curve. It was a national bestseller, but it was three years of living in the sewer of this guy's mind.

A journey is measured in friends, not miles.

The only use for a knife during a shark attack is pure treachery: Stab your buddy, swim like hell, and hope the munchies take him.

Adventure travel existed before I started, I just didn’t know it.
Tim Cahill

Occasionally the old urge surfaces, and we label it with names that suggest psychological aberrations: the big chill, a midlife crisis.
Tim Cahill
An adventure is never an adventure when it happens. An adventure is simply physical and emotional discomfort recollected in tranquility.
Tim Cahill
I wanted to be a writer from my early teenage years, but I never told anyone. Writers, in my opinion, were god-like creatures, and to say I was striving to be a writer would be incredibly arrogant.
Tim Cahill
I have no problem with the adventure travel movement. It makes better, more sensitive people. If you get people diving on a coral reef, they're going to become more respectful of the outdoors and more concerned with the threats that places like that face and they're going to care more about protecting them than they would have before.
Tim Cahill
There's a story everywhere. Being bored to death someplace is basically a funny proposition. What you have to watch out for is you don't write a boring story about a boring place.
Tim Cahill
Stanley Kubrick went with his gut feeling: he directed 'Dr. Strangelove' as a black comedy. The film is routinely described as a masterpiece.
Tim Cahill
No amount of money could make me play for Liverpool, that isn't disrespect to Liverpool or their fans, it's respect for Everton
Tim Cahill
New Orleans jazz is a complex and embracing art form that began about the same time as the blues and encompassed many of its excellences.
Tim Cahill
Healthier, perhaps, to find beauty in life and feel it expand inside of us.
Tim Cahill
Many people go into the wilderness to experience it, and if they experience it in comfort, there's very little in a literary sense for them to write about.
Tim Cahill
I am living out my adolescent dream of travel and adventure.
