Christopher McCandless and other quotes from Into the Wild

Into the Wild Movie Stills: Emile Hirsch, Marcia Gay Harden, William Hurt, Sean Penn

'If you want something in life, reach out in grab it.' -- McCandless

'I read somewhere... how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong... but to feel strong.' -- McCandless

'Rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness... give me truth.' -- McCandless

'Some people feel like they don't deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.' -- McCandless 

'If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, than all possibility is destroyed.' -- McCandless

'The core of mans' spirit comes from new experiences.' -- McCandless

'When you forgive, you love. And when you love, God's light shines upon you.' -- Ron Franz

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greather joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun." -- Chris McCandless
