How deep is our desire to do better than our mothers--to bring daughters into adulthood strong and fierce yet loving and gentle, adventurous and competitive but still nurturing and friendly, sweet yet sharp. We know as working women that we can't quite have it all, but that hasn't stopped us from wanting it all for them.
Anne Roiphe

Marriage is like war - an experience that no adventurous man would evade, and no sensible man repeat.
Ursula Parrott

I used to be a reasonably careless and adventurous person before I had children now I am morbidly obsessed by seat-belts and constantly afraid that low-flying aircraft will drop on my children's school.

On the Left, on the Right, in the Middle Authors, statesmen, thieves so-called humanists and self-declared fascists the adventurous and the contemplative, in every realm of male expression and action, violence is experienced and articulated as love and freedom.

In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.
W. H. Auden

We could say that love is a tenacious adventure. The adventurous side is necessary, but equally so is the need for tenacity. To give up at the first hurdle, the first quarrel, is only to distort love. Real love is one that triumphs lastingly, sometimes painfully, over the hurdles erected by time, space and the world.
Alain Badiou
Image
I like to go and do something adventurous. I like to go out and do some sort of crazy activity.
Zac Efron

My sophomore English teacher encouraged me to write for the school paper, and that's what got me started. Suddenly it struck me that being a writer could be a romantic and adventurous position. Previously, I had thought I would be a tennis pro, giving lessons at a local club. I thought that would be a good life, and it might have been.

Men might be chastised for being promiscuous, but I think they're more likely to be given a pass, due to a men will be men attitude that still prevails in the Western world. They don't usually experience anything like the virulent shaming and verbal abuse that women who are sexually adventurous are sometimes prone to experiencing.

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.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Where is the unexplored land but in our own untried enterprises? To an adventurous spirit any place--London, New York, Worcester, or his own yard--is unexplored land, to seek which Frémont and Kane travel so far. To a sluggish and defeated spirit even the Great Basin and the Polaris are trivial places.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
I wish I was a more adventurous person in a way. But actually, security is a really big deal for me.
Romola Garai
Image
It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves - in finding themselves.
