I think it’s my adventure, my trip, my journey, and I guess my attitude is, let the chips fall where they may. – Leonard Nimoy
My ‘Rot & Ruin’ series is a post-apocalyptic adventure for teens. My ‘Joe Ledger’ novels are science-based action thrillers for adults. My ‘Dead of Night’ stories are zombie tales for adults; my ‘Pine Deep Trilogy’ is classic horror for adults, and I’ve written nonfiction books on topics ranging from martial arts to folklore. – Jonathan Maberry
We should not allow it to be believed that all scientific progress can be reduced to mechanisms, machines, gearings, even though such machinery also has its beauty. Neither do I believe that the spirit of adventure runs any risk of disappearing in our world. – Marie Curie
Writing is like a rollercoaster ride for me, an adventure. I love exploring the world through ‘playing’ people who are absolutely nothing like me. – Karen Traviss
Well, it’s an adventure story, and a Bildungsroman, of course, but there was also the intention to describe a culture that had been seen in rather narrow terms. – John M. Ford
I have found adventure in flying, in world travel, in business, and even close at hand… Adventure is a state of mind – and spirit. – Jacqueline Cochran

What I’d love to do would be to bring a person from the past to me. In that case I’d pick Jane Austen, because I’d like to know what really made her tick. It’s my opinion that she was inhibited by her family and a desire to do the right thing. Away from all that, I believe she’d show new facets and enjoy the adventure. – Jo Beverley
I’ve lived in New York City for over twenty years now, and every single day is like a new adventure. At this point, there are many places I’d love to visit, but I can’t imagine living anywhere else on the planet. – Kevin Kwan
I don’t try to write songs that will further my career. I write about things that I care about. I don’t have a career as much as I’m having an adventure with a guitar. I never liked the business way of doing it. You have to follow some sort of instinct. – Jerry Jeff Walker
After reading Graham Greene and Joseph Conrad when I was a student at Yale, I wanted to live in the world they captured in their books. I had had some experience living in Africa. I was drawn to that kind of adventure. – Leslie Cockburn

We all have our ways of handling fear and managing trying; jumping in or climbing down, a direct approach or a delay, joyful or miserable, a spirit of adventure, or God help me, get this thing over with. – Kristin Armstrong
As was the case in ‘Darth Plagueis’ – even going back as far as ‘Cloak of Deception’ – I was well aware that I was writing what used to be called ‘men’s adventure’ fiction. – James Luceno
Democracy is an extraordinary adventure. It’s difficult, full of daring and risk and danger. But it’s the greatest gift we have. – Jon Voight
You can get stuff done in New York that you can’t in Los Angeles. If you wanted to get some milk and get your shoes repaired and drop something off at the dry cleaner, that’s an all-day adventure in Los Angeles. In New York, you can bang that out in half an hour. – Justin Theroux
It seems people are more willing to let other people control their minds now and recreational drug use doesn’t seem to have that same renegade sense of adventure that it once did. – Marc Maron

Travel, which was once either a necessity or an adventure, has become very largely a commodity, and from all sides we are persuaded into thinking that it is a social requirement, too. – Jan Morris
With ‘The Mummy’ it was a fantasy action adventure. You get taken away for a few hours and come out and feel revamped and ready to go into the world and enjoy your next day at work. – Luke Ford
My father Tom was a workaholic who never missed a single one of my sporting events for nearly two decades, and imparted in me a sense of risk and adventure. Being the one in the middle, I had more room to drift, and after college, I left the U.S. for Chile. – Jonathan Franklin

I remember my first night in L.A. I was sitting outside, looking out at the city and thinking, ‘I don’t know anyone.’ I just approached it as a big adventure. I still think of it that way. – Luke Bracey
I inhaled books. I loved Classics Illustrated comic books. These were books that I could afford to buy after I turned in pop bottles for change. ‘The Prince and the Pauper,’ ‘Robinson Crusoe,’ ‘A Journey to the Center of the Earth.’ Male narratives filled with adventure and self-discovery. – Jewell Parker Rhodes
