Tolstoy's epigraph states that he wanted "excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice himself for love". And through the sacrifice, he finds an overabundance of energy. I feel like this really spoke to Chris and was probably the piece that encouraged him to go on his adventure.
Stegner's epigraph states that you should not hold back your exhilarating thirst for exploration. Some people need to escape and find peace. Plus Stegner says, "the road has always led west". Again, this had to have been a favorite of Chris'.
I do agree with exerts, but I wouldn't take the quote about the west literal. To me it says that there's always somewhere else you'd like to go and explore.
