- " It was the masterful and incommunicable wisdom of eternity laughing at the futility of life and the effort of life. It was the Wild, the savage, frozenhearted Northland Wild." page 9 beginning of chapter 2

law and irksome obligations, with absolute freedom, and the road has
always led west." page 15 chapter 3
- How this quote connects to Chris is he's very Footloose and in the story he says he has itchy feet and can never stay still, but he is always happy moving about in his own manor and fashion to free his mind and escape from his history with is parents.
- A quote that is a very Clique quote and is used mainly for sports but, " you control your own destiny." it was Chris McCandless's Choose to ditch his car, give away his money and to set out on his adventure and he died controlling his own life.
