Nowadays we raise our children in a cocoon of domesticated security, far from any sense of risk or adventure.
--
p. 141Alan Hirsch
It is common talk that every individual is entitled to economic security. The only animals and birds I know that have economic security are those that have been domesticated--and the economic security they have is controlled by the barbed-wire fence, the butcher's knife and the desire of others. They are milked, skinned, egged or eaten up by their protectors.
Ray Lyman Wilbur
Life is security and daring,/ Life is protection and risk,/ Life is openness and closure,/ It is safety and adventure.
Kuruvilla Pandikattu
There is no help for you outside of yourself; you are the creator of the universe. Like the silkworm you have built a cocoon around yourself…. Burst your own cocoon and come out as the beautiful butterfly, as the free soul. Then alone you will see Truth.
Swami Vivekananda
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
Helen Keller
To us art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can be explored only by those willing to take the risk.
