James Rebanks Quotes

Working Up These Mountains Is As Good As It Gets, At Least As Long As You Are Not Freezing Or Sodden (though Even Then You Feel Alive In Ways That I Don't In Modern Life Behind Glass). There Is A Thrill In The Timelessness Up There. I Have Always Liked The Feeling Of Carrying On Something Bigger Than Me, Something That Stretches Back Through Other Hands And Other Eyes Into The Depths Of Time. To Work There Is A Humbling Thing, The Opposite Of Conquering A Mountain, If You Like; It Liberates You From Any Illusion Of Self-importance.
