When Werner Herzog heard that his friend Lotte Eisner was dying he walked from Munich to Paris (about 775km) to help save her life. He believed sheer will would keep her alive, well, she lived another 9 years. His book "Of Walking in Ice" is a damn good read.

A book influenced by Le Guin's dark insights, eg "...I hope you will remember that darkness is your country, where you live, where no wars are fought and no wars are won, but where the future is. Our roots are in the dark; the earth is our country."
