“The pursuit of natural knowledge, the investigation of the world - men...” — Archibald Hill Quote

The pursuit of natural knowledge, the investigation of the world - mental and material - in which we live, is not a dull and spiritless affair: rather is it a voyage of adventure of the human mind, a holiday for reckless and imaginative souls.

One of the fundamental characteristics of striated muscle, and the one involving the greatest difficulty in investigation, is the great rapidity with which changes take place in it.

Perhaps the spirit of adventure, be it mental or material adventure, is a factor so essential in human progress that no emphasis of it is undue.

One knows that after violent exercise one breathes heavily for some time: the more violent the exercise, the longer one's respiration is laboured.

And you know, when you take on something like this, you read a book like this, you know that it's going to be an adventure. That's part of what draws you to it.

The Congo was the most difficult shoot of my life but was also maybe the greatest adventure of my life.

I love making 'iCarly' - it's so much fun, and I love getting the script every week and not really knowing what insane thing I'm going to be doing. It's just like an adventure every episode; that's really fun.

Until they come up with an independent woman who's on an adventure of her own, I don't think I'm interested.
