"Adventurer" -- he that goes out to meet whatever may come. Well, that is what we all do in the world one way or another . . .	H. Rider Haggard	Allan Quatermain
"I know, my dear Watson, that you share my love of all that is bizarre and outside the conventions and humdrum routine of everyday life.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle	The Red-Headed League
"To die will be an awfully big adventure."	James M. Barrie	Peter Pan

As the gleam of the street-lamps flashed upon his austere features, I saw that his brows were drawn down in thought and his thin lips compressed. I knew not what wild beast we were about to hunt down in the dark jungle of criminal London, but I was well assured, from the bearing of this master huntsman, that the adventure was a most grave one . . .	Sir Arthur Conan Doyle	The Adventure of the Empty House

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle	The Lost World

"I think that you know me well enough, Watson, to understand that I am by no means a nervous man. At the same time, it is stupidity rather than courage to refuse to recognize danger when it is close upon you."	Sir Arthur Conan Doyle	The Final Problem
"Chivalry!---why, maiden, she is the nurse of pure and high affection---the stay of the oppressed, the redresser of grievances, the curb of the power of the tyrant ---Nobility were but an empty name without her, and liberty finds the best protection in her lance and her sword."	Sir Walter Scott	Ivanhoe
"What remains?" cried Ivanhoe; "Glory, maiden, glory! which gilds our sepulchre and embalms our name."	Sir Walter Scott	Ivanhoe
"Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once."	William Shakespeare	Julius Caesar
