Nothing makes a man so adventurous as an empty pocket.

A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in – what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.

I’m all about challenges and seeing if I can go out and see if I can achieve something. If at the end of the day I do it, great. If I don’t, I can live with myself.

Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.
