Give me a Wildness whose glance no civilization can endure.
they ran in the sunlight, creating their own breeze which pressed their dresses into their damp skin. Reaching a kind of square of four locked trees which promised cooling; they flung themselves into the shade to taste their lip sweat and contemplate the wildness that had come upon them so suddenly
Rash, inexperienced youth holds itself a chosen instrument, and allows itself unbounded license.
I wrote a lot of 'Driving on the Rim' by giving myself the gift of being just as eccentric as I felt like.
Being twenty-something is all about taking it in: eating it, drinking it, and spitting out the seeds later. It's about being fearless, and stupid, and dangerous, and unfocused, and abandoned. It's about being in it, not on top of it
In those days [after Samson's death] there was no king in Israel, but every man did what was right in his own eyes.
I have taken every amount of creative liberty and freedom that I can get and I've actually managed to push it. I would say being the champion gives me that freedom because you really get a little more carte blanche.
Contrary to what a lot of people think, I haven't been domesticated.
When you realize you're essentially you're God, there ain't nothing on earth more powerful than you, you can do anything you want.
As this life is not a gate, but the horse plunging through it.
absolute liberty ... tends to corrupt absolutely.
The elemental simplicities of wilderness travel were thrills. They represented complete freedom to make mistakes. The wilderness gave those rewards and penalties, for wise and foolish acts against which civilization has built a thousand buffers.
Tyranny of freedom is do what you like. There's a world gone crazy, cause it can't say no.

Work is my recreation, The play of faculty; a delight like that Which a bird feels in flying, or a fish In darting through the water,--Nothing more.
I just loved the feeling of flying. I could jump six feet bareback and it was the closest thing to being Pegasus and flying next to God. It's the most liberating freedom-making feeling in the world.
I definitely had a wild phase.
This land was an enigma. It was like a horse that no one knows how to break to harness, that runs wild and kicks things to pieces.
It's just like my dream to shoot things with no consequences.
The lawless in spirit soon become the lawless in practice.
This is the one thing I hope: that she never stopped. I hope when her body couldn't run any farther she left it behind like everything else that tried to hold her down, she floored the pedal and she went like wildfire, streamed down night freeways with both hands off the wheel and her head back screaming to the sky like a lynx, white lines and green lights whipping away into the dark, her tires inches off the ground and freedom crashing up her spine.
A little pure wildness is the one great present want, both of men and sheep.
I indulged the wild child inside of me - the one that's not aware of danger or fear - for the purity of existence for that character in that film. Of course, behind me they're saying, 'She's crazy!'
I grew up a very open and free mind, but also with the flaws of a look on life with too much liberty than people normally have.
A horse is freedom so indominable that it becomes useless to imprison it to serve man: it lets itself be domesticated, but with a simple, rebellious toss of the head-shaking its mane like an abundance of free-flowing hair-it shows that its inner nature is always wild, translucent and free.
