"Dois anos ele caminha pela Terra. Sem telefone, sem piscina, sem animais de estimação,
sem cigarros. Liberdade total. Um extremista. Um inusitado viajante cujo lar é a estrada.
Fugiu de Atlanta. Não deseja voltar porque o Oeste é o melhor. E agora depois de dois anos
de caminhada aproxima-se a grande e final aventura. A culminante batalha para matar o
falso ser interior e vitoriosamente concluir a revolução espiritual. Dez dias e noites de comboios de mercadorias e de boléias trazem-no para o grande norte branco. Sem
continuar a ser envenenado pela civilização ele foge e caminha solitário pela terra
para se perder em meio à natureza selvagem."
"Eu vou parafrasear Thoreau aqui... mais que amor, que dinheiro, que fé, que fama, que equidade... dê-me a verdade."
"Se admitirmos que a vida humana possa ser regida pela razão, então está destruída
toda a possibilidade da vida."

"Quando você perdoa, você ama. E quando você ama, a luz de Deus brilha em você."
"Você sabe, falo de livrar-se desta sociedade doente... Sabe o que eu não entendo? Porque
as pessoas, todas as pessoas, são sempre tão más umas com as outras. Não faz sentido. Julgamento. Controle. Todas estas coisas... De que pessoas estamos falando? Você sabe,
pais, hipócritas, políticos, canalhas."

“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods; / There is a rapture on the lonely shore; /
There is society, where none intrudes, / By the deep sea, and music in its roar; /
I love not man the less, but Nature more… / (Lord Byron)

“Society, man! You know, society! Cause, you know what I don’t understand?
I don’t understand why people, why every fucking person is so bad to each other
so fucking often. It doesn’t make sense to me. Judgment. Control. All that, the whole
spectrum. Well, it just…” (Christopher McCandless)

“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

“The sea’s only gifts are harsh blows, and occasionally the chance to feel strong.
Now I don’t know much about the sea, but I do know that that’s the way it is here.
And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel
strong. To measure yourself at least once. To find yourself at least once in the most
ancient of human conditions. Facing the blind death stone alone, with nothing to
help you but your hands and your own head.” (Christopher McCandless)
