”Vad som inte är livets mening vet jag. Att samla pengar och prylar och grejer, att leva kändisliv och fina upp sej på damtidningarnas kändissidor, att vara så rädd för ensamhet och tystnad att man aldrig hinner i lugn och ro tänka efter: Vad gör jag med min korta stund på jorden?” – Astrid Lindgren (1983)
”The more you have, the more you are occupied. The less you have, the more free you are.” – Mother Teresa
"Det var ett riktigt djärvt hopp!"
Killen som ligger på gräsmattan bredvid sjön sträcker upp handen, och gör tummen upp..
- "Ingen kommer ihåg en fegis!"Killen hade problem med knät, men valde att köra ändå. Jag tyckte mig höra att han pumpat ur 4,5 liter från knät häromdagen. Men han ville ut och köra..

“Millenniegenerationen har antagit att vi inte behöver kunskap om det förgångna och är inneboende klokare än våra förfäder. Vi är en så kallad en upplyst generation, den framåtgående generation, den medvetna generationen. Trots en stor brist på bevis, så får enkla upprepningar av etiketten oss att dra slutsatsen att det är sant.
Verkligheten är att vi står på en jättes axlar, och att vi glömmer det och driver grundlösa identiteter, eller att kasta bort vår historia motsvarar att sluta våra ögon och falla baklänges från dessa axlar till marken där vi är bundna att möta vår död. Vår intellektuella död, vår filosofiska död, politiska död och kulturella död.
Postmodernism och totalt förkastande av tradition och kultur förstör oss. Tradition och kultur bör vara öppna för kritik snarare än huvudlöst kastas bort.
Ack, skadan har redan är gjorts.” – Lauren Southern
"If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." - Isaac Newton Bilden från stgwifi.com |
“Millennials have assumed that we do not need knowledge of past and are inherently wiser than our ancestors. We are the so called enlightened generation, the progressive generation the mindful generation. Despite a vast lack of evidence, simply repetition of the label makes us conclude that it is true.
The reality is we stand on the shoulders of giants, and us forgetting that and pursuing baseless identities or throwing away our history is the equivalent of closing our eyes and falling backwards off those shoulders to the ground where we are bound to meet our death. Our intellectual death, our philosophical death, political death and cultural death.
Post modernism and the total rejection of tradition and culture is destroying us. Tradition and culture should be open to critique rather than heedlessly tossed away.
Alas, the damage has already been done.” - Lauren SouthernEn av anledningarna till vissa supportrar vandaliserar arkeologiska platser?
“Lesson I´ve learned: Enjoy everything. Be attached to nothing.” – Robin Sharma
“Attachment is the cause of all problems:Detachment is not possible until you have had enough of experience: Then how to balance?Understand what it is.”- Thapasi Thapasi
3:05 “It’s more like this trip is going to make us better people because this is going to make us very patient by making us go through pretty hard stuff.” – Simon, som inte kan sova pga av hård storm under natten.
“This trip is like giving up a warm bed and a dry bed.” “Giving up a lot of space to just think.”
4:05 ”And that´s all part of the deal that you get in order to just become a person who is more capable of keeping them self happy within them self. That I think has been the biggest lesson for us. Just realizing that this trip wasn’t going to make us better people by being an assume trip, this trip was going to make us better by being very hard. And by testing our boundaries by pushing us to the limits of what we´re willing to take. So that we can look back on that and know exactly where our limits are. And know that we can create that happiness for ourselves. That I think is the greatest goal of this whole trip for us.” - Simon
15:15 “Life is an adventure, and then you sleep on the streets.” - Simon
29:00 “I think a quality right now is about “am I living an interesting life?”, “Am I doing what I want?” We feel now a much greater sense of purpose in like direction maybe, because we´re making our own choices, because we have the freedom to go wherever we want. And we know that the direction we´re going is the direction we wanna go. That´s huge.” – Simon

32:30 “When you´re living in a van and somebody else reaches out to you and there also living in a van, it is guaranteed that first of they are going to be weird, because it takes a weird person to do this. But they are going to get you, they are going to understand why you´re doing it. They´re gonna understand like where to park, the reality of like watching for certain neighborhoods. There’s all these things that you just can’t communicate to people who live in houses.” – Simon
37:40 “It’s been a huge eye-opener for me and I never ever want to like have a home office any more. I always wanna work in a coffee shop. I always wanna go to the local park now and to the library, into YMCA.” – Simon
37:50“We make our income from a few different places. We still have a wedding business that we run together. We shoot weddings for a living. So we´re getting deposits and we getting contracts and stuff while we´re on the road. And then we are fulfilling those again in the summer.” - Simon
38:15 “I have an airbnb shoot this morning. It will be my first airbnb shoot on the road.”
“I also works for airbnb which gives us a tiny bit of money but once and while I can do realestate photo shoots and it pays a little bit.” – Simon
//De fotar airbnb hem olika kunder till Airbnb, men det är knepigt att boka tider enligt Simon då dom inte är så engagerade, eftersom det är gratis för dem. //
44:00 ”I think I´ve started to focus more on instead of focusing outwards in all these place that we´re going, focusing inward on how it effects me and realizing that it´s okay to live and to create in a place of uncertainty and in a place of awkwardness and being uncomfortable. And I think that for me, what the trip has become about is sort of taking myself out of my comfort zone and just, even just surviving in a place of being uncomfortable is enough to make you grow and change you as a person, and to be a valid experience. You don’t have set out being like “I´m gonna climb every mountain in the US”, you just have to exist in an awkward state and figure yourself out somehow. And I think that´s enough of a goal.” - Shelby
46:07 “We don’t want to make a life that we need vacation from. I your constantly saving up so you can vacation from your life because you hate it so much then what are you really doing?” – Shelby
46:20 “But I think also van has also taught me that the idea of like finding peace in a smaller space. Honestly I think it has to come about from being so frustrated that you have to learn to be happy no matter what.” – Shelby
47:30 “Maybe that´s what´s all it´s about, maybe it´s about putting yourself to the crucible of tiny living, to come out the other side as a better, more peaceful person.” - Simon
