Evan Wright Quotes
What unites them is an almost reckless desire to test themselves in the most extreme circumstances. In many respects the life they have chosen is a complete rejection of the hyped, consumerist American dream as it is dished out in reality TV shows and pop-song lyrics.

Their highest aspiration is self-sacrifice over self-preservation.
