The first quote in the epigraph was highlighted in a book of Chris's. It talks about wanting excitement and danger in life. The second quote talks about how the idea of absolute freedom exhilarates humans.
Westerberg was a smart, kind man. He mastered many professions and was extremely talented. He also helped house and employ lots of hitchhikers over the years. He seemed very respectful and never pried into people's business.
Everyone who met McCandless said he was very intelligent and had amazing stories from his travels. He set very high standards for himself and was extremely ethical. He had a huge interest in the wild and wanted to live off of the land. McCandless was well-educated and over-thought a lot of things. I would've liked to know him because it sounds like he had a lot of interesting ideas and stories. He seemed very friendly and amiable.
