'He has portrayed a magician for years and my Dan was a different kind of magician. There are parallels in the two Dans' lives. Daniel Radcliffe is a poet, he keeps journals and he's half Jewish.

Quotes
Dan's Mom:
To the kids in the world, I think he would have said
Dan Eldon:
People's comments after viewing his exhibition:
To the kids in the world, I think he would have said
"You may only dance a short time, his dance has been very short indeed. But he would have said you choose your dance, you choose the music for your dance, you dance proudly, you dance loudly, you dance with incredible spirit, and creatativity, and life, and joy, especially you go out and dance with love."
'I was in LA, working on a film, and I awakened to this telephone call which changed my life,' Kathy recalled. 'We flew to London and then to Kenya for the service, still feeling numb at that stage. I thought he was gone for ever but I've always felt the tremendous energy of his spirit. I couldn't heal myself until I transformed the horror of Dan's death into some positive things.'
'The film is a teen coming of age story - entertaining, funny, dark at times - but ultimately triumphant,' Kathy said. 'People will leave the cinema feeling inspired, thinking: "Oh my God, let me start living right now!" It won't be pious. We're not trying to idolise him or make him or a hero.'
'Daniel Radcliffe is the first time we've found a young enough actor with a global following. We love the way he's a global soul. He's travelled the world and feels comfortable in the world and hasn't been corrupted by Hollywood.'
"Dan's primary message is to live fully, to enjoy life as much as you possibly can, to love, to laugh, to dance, o be as much of yourself as you could possibly be, no only for yourself. but also for others."
Dan Eldon:
“To explore the unknown and the familiar, distant and near, and to record in details with the eyes of a child, any beauty, horror, irony, traces of utopia or Hell.”
“What is the difference between exploring and being lost?”
“The journey is the destination.”
“It wasn't that we wanted to bring them the things because they were pathetic and couldn't do anything for themselves. It was because when we were there they were dancing for us, and the children just seemed so alive and happy ... the whole thing isn't a sympathy thing.”
"It is foolish and hazardous not to dance in Africa."
"Look for solutions, not problems."
"The most important part of vehicle maintenance is clean windows so if you are broken down, you will enjoy the beauty of the view. Also, ensure that electronic devices to play music are properly serviced. The more music you like, the happier you will be."
"It is therapeutic to apply a well toned, beautiful naked body onto one's own flesh at least twice a day in tropical or non-tropical climes."
"Mission Statement for... Safari as a Way of Life. "To explore the unknown and the familiar, distant and near, and to record in detail with the eyes of a child, any beauty, (of the flesh or otherwise) horror, irony, traces of utopia or Hell. Select your team with care, but when in doubt, take on some new crew and give them a chance. But avoid at all costs fluctuations of sincerity with your best people."
People's comments after viewing his exhibition:
“I have seen many installations but none so moving. Thank you for sharing Dan’s life with us. He is an inspiration to us all, having accomplished so much in so short a time.”
“Thank you for sharing this work with us. I found it very moving. I had such a sense of peace after being here a few days ago. It inspired me to go home and draw, something I hadn’t done for years.”
“Dan’s brilliant work and powerful messages touched me deeply. I am overjoyed that Dan’s light can still shine.”
“After I stopped saying, ‘My God,’ I wanted to cry.”
“Heartfelt. His life was an inspiration to all. Just seeing this exhibit changed my life.”
“Thanks for bringing this exhibit to our college. Dan’s spirit is so strong it keeps lighting fires of inspiration to this day. His work and life has affected me profoundly. I hope I can light a fire as big as Dan’s.”
