“We used to come to Mepkin Abbey to escape and heal our broken spirits ”

— Pat Conroy

“From success, you learn absolutely nothing. From failure and setbacks conclusions can be drawn. That goes for your private life as well as your career.”

— Nikki Lauda

“You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks”

— Winston Churchill

“You see, life in San Francisco is still just life. If you want any one thing too badly, it’s likely to turn out to be a disappointment. The only healthy way to live life is to learn to like all the little everyday things – like a sip of good whiskey in the evening, a soft bed, a glass of buttermilk, or a feisty gentleman like myself”

— Augustus "Gus" McCrae: Lonesome Dove

“Mepkin Abbey, a small city of prayer hidden deep in a semitropical forest thirty miles from Charleston, South Carolina. Its isolation was intentional.”

— Pat Conroy

“Maybe stalking the woods is as vital to the human condition as playing music or putting words to paper. Maybe hunting has as much of a claim on our civilized selves as anything else. After all, the earliest forms of representational art reflect hunters and prey. While the arts were making us sprititually viable, hunting did the heavy lifting of not only keeping up alive, but inspiring us. To abhor hunting is to hate the place from which you came, which is akin to hating yourself in some distant, abstract way.”

— Steven Rinella, Meat Eater: Adventures from the Life of an American Hunter

“The closer you are to death, the more alive you feel.”

— James Hunt
