Have you never wanted to do anything that was dangerous? Where should we be if nobody tried to find out what lies beyond? You neve...r wanted to look beyond the clouds and the stars, or to know what causes the trees to bud, and what changes a darkness into light? But if you talk like that, people call you crazy.
