Jon Krakauer: It is easy, when you are young, to believe that what you desire is no less than what you deserve, to assume that if you want something badly enough , it is your God-given right to have it. . . I was a raw youth who mistook passion for insight and acted according to an obscure, gap-ridden logic. I thought climbing the Devils Thumb would fix all that was wrong with my life. In the end, of course, it changed almost nothing. But I came to appreciate that mountains make poor receptacles for dreams. And I lived to tell my tale.
Christopher McCandles: Is Anyone Watching This? God,Are You Watching This?
My favorite quote from the film. It was one of the strongest moments when the old man tries to reach the top. Beautifull moment.
“Two years he walks the earth.
No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. Escaped from Atlanta. Thou shalt not return, ’cause “the West is the best.” And now after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual pilgrimage. Ten days and nights of freight trains and hitchhiking bring him to the Great White North. No longer to be poisoned by civilization he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild.
— Alexander Supertramp
May 1992″
I loved that, it was really the thing that tied the whole movie together. That was really my favorite quote.
“Rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness… give me truth.”
I really think this quote says a lot… It not only defines who McCandless is in the movie but who everyone is in the world… You can live without love, money, faith, fame, and fairness… But without truth we are nothing…
Great quote by Thoreau
Chris McCandless: If you want something in life – reach out and grab it.
“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 greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”
Christopher McCandless: Rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness… give me truth.
-Everything in life comes down to the point of the truth. The truth is what guides us, and makes us realize society’s binds on us. Rather then the superficialty of what we now call love, money, faith, fame, and fairness, there is always truth that shows us the light; The truth, will set you free.
“Hapiness is real when shared”
What about this ultimate lesson he learned in the end, which, discredited, in a certain way, all his venture???
“what if i were smiling and running into your arms? Would you see then, what i see now?”
–Emile Hirsh as Christopher J. McCandless aka. Alexander Supertramp.
his last qoute from the movie, as he dies.
its like a message to his parents, it was my favorite.
“The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”
-This is my favorite quote, whether it is used in an extremists’ situation or just the everyday person, being reminded of it everyday and actually applying it to life is, in my opinion, probably one of the greatest lessons we can teach ourselves.
“Hapiness is real when shared”
I think that quote is the most inspiring one. No matter how happy I am, when there’s no one around..it just an EMPTY happiness
(
happiness is real when shared
it makes me feel happy
