Sarah Dessen Quotes

There is little character or loveliness in the face of someone who has shunned risk, avoided suffering and rejected life

There is no certainty; there is only adventure.

I have tried to establish the right to dare everything.

There's so much boldness in living life this way, and we did it all, and no one can take it away from us.

To be alive at all involves some risk.

Sure, give me an adventure and I'll ride it.

I think risk-taking is a great adventure. And life should be full of adventures.

I have no fear of death. More important, I don't fear life.

Life has a certain flavor for those who have fought and risked all that the sheltered and protected can never experience.

I like adventure.

My life experiences have helped me to be less fearful. In politics, that has allowed me to take on issues sooner rather than later.

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

It's better to get mugged than to live a life of fear.

Whether I fall on my feet or fall on my arse, I dunno. You've got to take those risks.

Courage is on display every day, and only the courageous wring the most out of life.

I think it's my adventure, my trip, my journey, and I guess my attitude is, let the chips fall where they may.

Life is full of adventure. There's no such thing as a clear pathway.

The true adventurer goes forth aimless and uncalculating to meet and greet unknown fate.

Life is to be lived, not controlled, and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat.

Life is a risk.

Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.

I don't want to live life too cautiously. I mean, you can step off a curb and twist your ankle.

Either life entails courage, or it ceases to be life.

Maybe you will be afraid and maybe you will fail, but the courage to take risks in any part of your life is, I feel, a very worthwhile way to live.

A life without adventure is likely to be unsatisfying, but a life in which adventure is allowed to take whatever form it will is sure to be short.
