Unbroken


Louis Zamperini 
1917-2014

"Dignity is essential to human life as water, food, and oxygen. The stubborn retention to it, even in the face of extreme physical hardship, can hold a man's soul in his body long past the point at which the body should have surrendered to it." Laura Hillenbrand in Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption 

"In my dark hour, [Lousi] is that very steady calm parental loving supportive voice." - Angelina Jolie

"Whatever situation I find myself in, I have a cheerful attitude at all times. Attitude has a healing effect on the body. It works for everybody!" Louis Zamperini

To Travel



Russian photographer Murad Osmann created a photo series that he calls "Follow Me To" which takes viewers on an intimate journey with his girlfriend who's leading him around the world. The pose is almost the same in every picture: the girl never shows her face, and the guy almost never lets go of her hand.

The shots in this series are just beautiful. And it totally reminds me of this quote -

"To move, to breathe, to fly, to float,
To gain all while you give,
To roam the roads of lands remote,
To travel is to live."

- Hans Christian Andersen -
from The Fairy Tale of My Life: An Autobiography
