Jon Krakauer Quotes

Common sense is no match for the voice of God Picture Quote #1

When you forgive, you love. And when you love, God’s light shines upon you Picture Quote #1

When a young person is moved by a passion and feels compelled to go on this sort of quest, I think you have to let him. You can’t stop him. In our culture we don’t have formal rights of passage like in some ancient cultures. Subjecting yourself to risk... may be something you have to go through to be a man or a woman Picture Quote #1

The thing that is most beautiful about Antarctica for me is the light. It’s like no other light on Earth, because the air is so free of impurities. You get drugged by it, like when you listen to one of your favorite songs. The light there is a mood-enhancing substance Picture Quote #1

THE LONG WALK is a raw, wrenching, blood-soaked chronicle of the human cost of war. Brian Castner, the leader of a military bomb disposal team, recounts his deployment to Iraq with unflinching candor, and in the process exposes crucial truths not only about this particular conflict, but also about war throughout history. Castner’s memoir brings to mind Erich Maria Remarque’s masterpiece, All Quiet on the Western Front Picture Quote #1

Those who would assail the Book of Mormon should bear in mind that its veracity is no more dubious than the veracity of the Bible, say, or the Qur’an, or the sacred texts of most other religions. The latter texts simply enjoy the considerable advantage of having made their public debut in the shadowy recesses of the ancient past, and are thus much harder to refute Picture Quote #1

I love being outdoors, being in the mountains and the desert, and my wife enjoys that too. That’s one of the things that sustain our relationship Picture Quote #1

The trip was to be an odyssey in the fullest sense of the word, an epic journey that would change everything Picture Quote #1

You are wrong if you think Joy emanates only... from human relationships. God has placed it all around us... and all you have to do is reach for it Picture Quote #1

Most climbers aren’t in fact deranged, they’re just infected with a particularly virulent strain of the Human Condition Picture Quote #1

In climbing, having confidence in your partners is no small concern. One climber’s actions can affect the welfare of the entire team Picture Quote #1

I’m going to paraphrase Thoreau here... rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness... give me truth Picture Quote #1

According to the moral absolutism that characterizes McCandless’s beliefs, a challenge in which a successful outcome is assured isn’t a challenge at all Picture Quote #1

My reasoning, if one can call it that, was inflamed by the scatter shot passions of youth and a literary diet overly rich in the works of Nietzshe, Kerouac, and John Menlove Edwards Picture Quote #1

This forms the nub of a dilemna that every Everest climber eventually comes up against: in order to succeed you must be exceedingly driven, but if you’re too driven you’re likely to die Picture Quote #1

I think part of the appeal of Antarctica is experiencing some sort of power, the forces of the natural world Picture Quote #1

Once you believe that God is speaking directly to you, there is no discussion Picture Quote #1

I never studied writing, but I’d always been a reader and had a secret fantasy about being a writer Picture Quote #1

I’ve had a lot of crappy jobs, but one of my favorites was working as a commercial fisherman in Alaska. What I loved about it was, you got paid for what you caught Picture Quote #1

I think part of the appeal of Antarctica is experiencing some sort of power, the forces of the natural world Picture Quote #1

Don’t settle down and sit in one place. Move around, be nomadic, make each day a new horizon Picture Quote #1

Antarctica is a very alien environment, and you can’t survive here more than minutes if you’re not equipped properly and doing the right thing all the time Picture Quote #1

Some people feel like they don’t deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past Picture Quote #1

There is nothing glamorous or romantic about war. It’s mostly about random pointless death and misery Picture Quote #1

Most friendly fire incidents aren’t investigated properly because of neglect or a natural inclination to cover up the embarrassing fact that they killed one of their own Picture Quote #1

Now what is history? It is the centuries of systematic explorations of the riddle of death, with a view to overcoming death. That’s why people discover mathematical infinity and electromagnetic waves, that’s why they write symphonies Picture Quote #1

Antarctica has this mythic weight. It resides in the collective unconscious of so many people, and it makes this huge impact, just like outer space. It’s like going to the moon Picture Quote #1

As I point out in the very first pages of ‘Into the Wild,’ I approached this book not as a normal, you know, unbiased journalist Picture Quote #1
