That is a favorite quote of mine, one that I hold in reserve if I can't think of anything to write on my car.

Excellent quote and it explains perfectly why I could never be happy when I was afraid of taking risks.

Vaguely agreed.

There's a certain amount of risk in driving on winding roads in apparent mid-nowhere, boogie boarding, trying new things art wise, and so on. On the other hand, it's pretty darn safe to go to the games shop, sit around a favorite cafe for hours, to read back issues of Dungeon and so on. So I do both; sometimes I seek risk, other times I wuss out, both can make me happy.

I think the happy part is more important than the safety part. Nobody goes on that "at least he died doing something that was safe."
