"To all those who lead monotonous lives in the hope that they may experience at second hand the delights and dangers of adventure. [author's dedication]"

Previous Quote

Every man has within him only one life and one nature ... It behooves a man to look within himself and turn to the best dedication possible those endowments he has from his Maker. You do no wrong in questioning what once you held to be right for you, if now it has come to seem wrong. Put away all thought of being bound. We do not want you bound. No one who is not free can give freely.
