Top Mountain Climbing Quotes

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Margaret Young

Climbing is as close as we can come to flying. — Margaret Young

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Leigh Bardugo

Ten silos," Inej said. "Nine crossings."
"They're a lot taller up close," said Nina. "Are you ready for this?"
Inej couldn't deny they were intimidating. "No matter the height of the mountain, the climbing is the same."
"That's not technically true. You need ropes, picks - "
"Don't be a Matthias. — Leigh Bardugo

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Mark Helprin

Weeks and months are needed to accustom oneself to climbing. Otherwise, much energy is lost in clinging to the rock, maintaining too sure a hold, trying not to be too stiff, and worrying. After a while a climber warms to the mountains and can accomplish with little effort those things that once took all he had, for height gradually loses its meaning. Standing on the edge of a two-thousand-meter precipice becomes no less comfortable than sitting in a wicker chair on Capri, for it is possible to acquire some of the self-possession that enables mountain goats to stand for hours on a tiny ledge above an abyss. — Mark Helprin

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Albert Einstein

New frameworks are like climbing a mountain - the larger view encompasses rather than rejects the more restricted view. — Albert Einstein

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Giovanni Boccaccio

Although love dwells in gorgeous palaces, and sumptuous apartments, more willingly than in miserable and desolate cottages, it cannot be denied but that he sometimes causes his power to be felt in the gloomy recesses of forests, among the most bleak and rugged mountains, and in the dreary caves of a desert. — Giovanni Boccaccio

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Henry David Thoreau

As for the dispute about solitude and society, any comparison is impertinent. It is an idling down on the plane at the base of a mountain, instead of climbing steadily to its top. — Henry David Thoreau

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Lemony Snicket

You might think that climbing a mountain is half the battle, only to find out that the mountain goats who live at the top are vicious, and heavily armed. — Lemony Snicket

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Greg Child

Somewhere between the bottom of the climb and the summit is the answer to the mystery why we climb. — Greg Child

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Larry Niven

On a world built to ordered specification, there was no logical reason for such a mountain to exist. Yet every world should have at least one unclimbable mountain. — Larry Niven

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Trevanian

The rope connecting two men on a mountain is more than nylon protection; it is an organic thing that transmits subtle messages of intent and disposition from man to man; it is an extension of the tactile senses, a psychological bond, a wire along which currents of communication flow. — Trevanian

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

We can only climb the mountains because there's a valley that makes the mountain a mountain. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Antoine De Saint-Exupery

The traveler who crosses a mountain in the direction of a star runs the risk of forgetting which is his guiding star if he concentrates too exclusively on the climbing problems. If he only acts for action's sake, he will get nowhere. — Antoine De Saint-Exupery

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Barnaby Conrad

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Lee Child

Then eventually Westwood arrived. He looked nothing like Reacher expected, but the reality fit the bill just as well as the preconceptions had. He was an outdoors type, not a lab rat, and sturdy rather than pencil-necked. He looked like a naturalist or an explorer. He had short but unruly hair, fair going gray, and a beard of the same length and color. He was red in the face from sunburn and had squint lines around his eyes. He was forty-five, maybe. He was wearing clothing put together from high-tech fabrics and many zippers, but it was all old and creased. He had hiking boots on his feet, with speckled laces like miniature mountain-climbing ropes. He was toting a canvas bag about as big as a mail carrier's. — Lee Child

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Frank Langella

You get kinder when you get into my age range. You think back to how really unkind you were, and how cynical you were and how you tossed things away and you tossed people away, and you didn't care because you were climbing some mountain that you thought you needed to be on top of. — Frank Langella

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Richard Holbrooke

The negotiations were simultaneously cerebral and physical, abstract and personal, something like a combination of chess and mountain climbing. — Richard Holbrooke

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Chris Darwin

Life is brought down to the basics: if you are warm, regular, healthy, not thirsty or hungry, then you are not on a mountain ... Climbing at altitude is like hitting your head against a brick wall - it's great when you stop. — Chris Darwin

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Diana Gabaldon

How shall I tell ye what it is, to feel the need of a place?" he said softly. "The need of snow beneath my shoon. The breath of the mountains, breathing their own breath in my nostrils as God gave breath to Adam. The scrape of rock under my hand, climbing, and the sight of the lichens on it, enduring in the sun and the wind."

His breath was gone and he breathed again, taking mine. His hands were linked behind mv head, holding me, face-to-face.
"If I am to live as a man, I must have a mountain," he said simply. — Diana Gabaldon

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Andy Serkis

When I played Gollum in 'Lord of the Rings,' if I was climbing up the side of a mountain, which I physically did, you know, I was on every single occasion swimming through streams, all of that, that wasn't captured. That was filmed on 35 millimeter, and for certain of those shots, it was rotoscoped and painted over. — Andy Serkis

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Friedrich Nietzsche

A few hours of mountain climbing make a blackguard and a saint two rather similar creatures. — Friedrich Nietzsche

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Wojciech Kurtyka

If there is such a thing as spiritual materialism, it is displayed in the urge to possess the mountains rather than to unravel and accept their mysteries. — Wojciech Kurtyka

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Reinhold Messner

I want to solve a climbing problem in the mountains, not in the sporting goods store. — Reinhold Messner

Mountain Climbing Quotes By A.D. Posey

Feel yourself climbing the mountain. — A.D. Posey

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Edmund Hillary

I like to think of Everest as a great mountaineering challenge, and when you've got people just streaming up the mountain - well, many of them are just climbing it to get their name in the paper, really. — Edmund Hillary

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Michael Arndt

The number one metaphor I have in my mind for writing a screenplay is that ... you're trying to climb a mountain blindfolded. And the funny thing about that is, you think, 'Okay, that's hard because you're climbing up a rock face, and you don't know where you're going, and you don't know where the top is, you can't see what's below you ... ' But actually the hardest part about climbing a mountain blindfolded is just finding the mountain. — Michael Arndt

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Amie Kaufman

The girl looks out the window, watching the gentle, familiar blue sky fade into darkness. The stars come out, slowly at first and then all together, diamond-bright, each one a new world to discover.
But no matter how long the girl looks, she feels nothing. Puzzled, she looks for the girl who wanted to be an explorer, the girl who wanted to learn deep-sea diving and mountain-climbing, the girl who wanted to travel the stars. But she can't find her. That girl died when her parents did, in a little shop in the slums of November. And now she has no soul left to shatter.
She closes the shade over the window. — Amie Kaufman

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Walter Bonatti

The mountains have rules. they are harsh rules, but they are there, and if you keep to them you are safe. A mountain is not like men. A mountain is sincere. The weapons to conquer it exist inside you, inside your soul. — Walter Bonatti

Mountain Climbing Quotes By John Muir

Doubly happy, however, is the man to whom lofty mountain tops are within reach. — John Muir

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Ernest Hemingway,

To go down and up two hands-and-knee climbing ravines and then out into the moonlight and the long, too-steep shoulder of mountain that you climbed one foot up to the other, one foot after the other, one stride at a time, leaning forward against the grade and the altitude, dead tired and gun weary, single file in the moonlight across the slope, on up and to the top where it was easy, the country spread in the moonlight, then up and down and on, through the small hills, tired but now in sight of the fires and — Ernest Hemingway,

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Paul Theroux

They say that if the Swiss had designed these mountains they'd be rather flatter. — Paul Theroux

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Elizabeth Yates

Always she thought of him as climbing some mountain in his mind, like that great one to the west on which his eyes would dwell so often and from which he seemed to derive something that was even more than strength. — Elizabeth Yates

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Conrad Anker

Looking out of a tent door into a world of snow and vanishing hopes. ~George Mallory — Conrad Anker

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Earl Wilson

One way to get high blood pressure is to go mountain climbing over molehills. — Earl Wilson

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Peter Matthiessen

My foot slips on a narrow ledge; in that split second, as needles of fear pierce heart and temples, eternity intersects with present time. Thought and action are not different, and stone, air, ice, sun, fear, and self are one. What is exhilarating is to extend this acute awareness into ordinary moments, in the moment-by-moment experiencing of the lammergeier and the wolf, which, finding themselves at the center of things, have no need for any secret of true being. In this very breath that we take now lies the secret that all great teachers try to tell us ... the present moment. The purpose of mediation practice is not enlightenment' it is to pay attention even at unextraordinary times, to be of the present, nothing-but-the-present, to bear this mindfulness of now into each event of ordinary life. — Peter Matthiessen

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Lloyd C. Douglas

Our life is like a land journey, too even and easy and dull over long distances across the plains, too hard and painful up the steep grades; but, on the summits of the mountain, you have a magnificent view
and feel exalted
and your eyes are full of happy tears
and you want to sing
and wish you had wings! And then
you can't stay there, but must continue your journey
you begin climbing down the other side, so busy with your footholds that your summit experience is forgotten. — Lloyd C. Douglas

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Michael Eisner

To this day, I fondly recall the challenges of building a fire, pitching a tent, climbing a New England mountain, canoeing on a lake. Camp songs still resonate inside me. Competition exists at Keewaydin, of course, but nobody fails summer camp, a nice respite from winters of fortune and misfortune at school. — Michael Eisner

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Greg Child

The mountain is nothing without people on it. Often you part expedition exasperated, but a year or two later you go back with the same partners knowing there's potential in this human relationship. — Greg Child

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Justin Bienvenue

Like words written in the sand taken away by waves
Thousands of years of culture discovered in lost caves
Climbing to a mountain at it's highest peak
Out of no where strength when thought down and weak — Justin Bienvenue

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Georges St-Pierre

Think about climbing a mountain. If you decide you're going up Everest, you don't start with a sprint. You'll never make it out of base camp if you do that. The secret is two fold: make sure your approach is consistent and steady so that you can maintain the progress you're making as your journey continues. — Georges St-Pierre

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Syd Field

Writing a screenplay is like climbing a mountain. When you're climbing, all you can see is the rock in front of you and the rock directly above you. You can't see where you've come from or where you're going. — Syd Field

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Thomas Bernhard

Disappointed Englishman.

Several Englishmen who were inveigled by a mountain guide in eastern Tyrol into climbing the Drei Zinnen with him were so disappointed, after reaching the highest of the three peaks, with what Nature had to offer them on this highest peak that then and there they killed the guide, a family man with three children and, it seems, a deaf wife. When, however, they realized what they had actually done, they threw themselves off the peak, one after the other. After this, a newspaper in Birmingham wrote that Birmingham had lost its most outstanding newspaper publisher, its most extraordinary bank director, and its most able undertaker. — Thomas Bernhard

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Justin Bieber

Me plus you. (Imma tell you one time) Me plus you. (Imma tell you one time)
Me plus you. (Imma tell you one time)
One time.
When I met ya girl my heart when knock (knock knock)
Now them butterflies in my stomach won't stop (stop stop)
Even love is a struggle and it's all we got.
So we gun keep keep climbing to the mountain top.
'Cause your world, is my world, and my breath is your breath, and my heart is yours ... — Justin Bieber

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Robert Littell

I am an amateur mountain climber. Once or twice a year I go off to Chamonix in the French Alps, under Mont Blanc, and with a guide do treks that include rock climbing at high altitude. — Robert Littell

Mountain Climbing Quotes By William Davis

Eating wheat, like ice climbing, mountain boarding, and bungee jumping, is an extreme sport. It is the only common food that carries its own long-term mortality rate. — William Davis

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Robert Penn Warren

You don't write poems sitting at a typewriter; you write them swimming or climbing a mountain or walking. — Robert Penn Warren

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Peggy Morehouse Strack

Maybe dream chasing is like climbing a mountain. You know, finding the trail, stepping onto it. At first you're energetic and it's easy. Then you trip over a root, face a huge boulder, or a steep incline. So you stand up after the fall, find your way around the boulder, and trudge up the vertical. Eventually, you're on top of the mountain with an expansive view of the world." ~ Michael Stlis in "A Stop in the Park — Peggy Morehouse Strack

Mountain Climbing Quotes By A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

To live only for some unknown future is superficial. It is like climbing a mountain to reach the peak without experiencing its sides. The sides of the mountain sustain life, not the peak. This is where things grow, experience is gained, and technologies are mastered. The importance of the peak lies only in the fact that it defines the sides. So I went on towards the top, but always experiencing the sides. I had a long way to go but I was in no hurry. I went in little steps - just one step after another - but each step towards the top. — A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Andy Rooney

Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it. — Andy Rooney

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Victor Hugo

There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills; but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling. Every summit seems an exaggeration. Climbing wearies. The steepnesses take away one's breath; we slip on the slopes, we are hurt by the sharp points which are its beauty; the foaming torrents betray the precipices, clouds hide the mountain tops; mounting is full of terror, as well as a fall. Hence, there is more dismay than admiration. People have a strange feeling of aversion to anything grand. They see abysses, they do not see sublimity; they see the monster, they do not see the prodigy. — Victor Hugo

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Josh Billings

Life is like a mountain: after climbing up one side and sliding down the other, put up the sled. — Josh Billings

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Greg Brenneman

I don't like Las Vegas. I'd rather be mountain biking or climbing. — Greg Brenneman

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Linda Howard

I'll be on another case soon. You won't need me anymore. You'll be walking, though I think you should wait a while before climbing another mountain."

"You're my therapist," Blake snapped.

Dione gave a little laugh. "For months you've depended on me more than any other person in your life. Your perspective is distorted now.
Believe me, by the time I've been gone a month, you won't even think about me."

'Do you mean you'd just turn your back on me and walk away?" he asked disbelievingly. — Linda Howard

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Frosty Wooldridge

Your legs feel like fried bacon after a day of climbing and descending. It's a roller coaster ride, but no one is pulling you up the mountain. You're headed toward Yosemite more than 4,000 feet of pounding the pedals. You are aware of every movement because your thighs feel tender with a sensation of pain. You push on, toward the final ascent into the valley. In front of you is a monster mountain-El Capitan. Your eyes grow wide. You take a deep breath. Suddenly, you feel only wonder. — Frosty Wooldridge

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Fritz Zwicky

Mountains were once my big adventure but is is over since a long time; I still dream from the wonderful days sometimes, read also a few pages from a mountain book. But the thought of doing again active mountain climbing has faded. — Fritz Zwicky

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Leigh Bardugo

No matter the height of the mountain, the climbing is the same. — Leigh Bardugo

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Fawn M. Brodie

Housework is a breeze. Cooking is a pleasant diversion. Putting up a retaining wall is a lark. But teaching is like climbing a mountain. — Fawn M. Brodie

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Eraldo Banovac

All of those who perceive new challenges as climbing a mountain should accept the fact that they aren't young anymore. — Eraldo Banovac

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Stacey Lee

It is like the moon. We can see it differently by climbing a mountain, but we cannot outrun it. As it should be. — Stacey Lee

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Friedrich Nietzsche

They climb the mountain like beasts, stupid and sweating; it seems that no one bothered to tell them that there are beautiful vistas along the way. — Friedrich Nietzsche

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Joyce Rachelle

I know I can't own a hilltop, a meadow, or a mountainside. But keeping it a secret somehow makes it mine. — Joyce Rachelle

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Dante Alighieri

This mountain's of such sort that climbing it is hardest at the start; but as we rise, the slope grows less unkind. — Dante Alighieri

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Daniel C. Dennett

A mountain climber foolishly climbing alone slips off a precipice and finds himself dangling at the end of his safety rope, a thousand feet above a ravine. Unable to climb the rope or swing to a safe resting spot, he calls out in despair: "Hallooo, hallooo! Can anybody help me?" To his astonishment, the clouds part, a beautiful light pours through them, and a mighty voice replies, "Yes, my son, I can help you. Take your knife and cut the rope!" The climber takes out his knife, and then he stops, and thinks and thinks. Then he cries out: "Can anybody else help me? — Daniel C. Dennett

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Raha Moharrak

It doesn't have to be a mountain you have to be climbing. I hope to change people's opinion about Saudi in general and Saudi women and Saudi women's opinion about themselves. I really hope they can step out of their comfort zone and just dream: try to push your limits. — Raha Moharrak

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Ingmar Bergman

Old age is like climbing a mountain. You climb from ledge to ledge. The higher you get, the more tired and breathless you become, but your views become more extensive. — Ingmar Bergman

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Johnnie Dent Jr.

If your faith doesn't remove the mountain ... Get to climbing. — Johnnie Dent Jr.

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Maurice Herzog

For us the mountains had been a natural field of activity where, playing on the frontiers of life and death, we had found the freedom for which we were blindly groping and which was as necessary to us as bread. — Maurice Herzog

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Samina Baig

I am doing the mountain climbing to empower women. — Samina Baig

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Richard Nelson

There may be more to learn by climbing the same mountain a hundred times than by climbing a hundred different mountains. — Richard Nelson

Mountain Climbing Quotes By C. G. Jung

If the demand for self-knowledge is willed by fate and is refused, this negative attitude may end in real death. The demand would not have come to this person had he still been able to strike out on some promising by-path. But he is caught in a blind alley from which only self-knowledge can extricate him. If he refuses this then no other way is left open to him. Usually he is not conscious of his situation, either, and the more unconscious he is the more he is at the mercy of unforeseen dangers: he cannot get out of the way of a car quickly enough, in climbing a mountain he misses his foothold somewhere, out skiing he thinks he can negotiate a tricky slope, and in an illness he suddenly loses the courage to live. The unconscious has a thousand ways of snuffing out a meaningless existence with surprising swiftness. — C. G. Jung

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Jonathan Waterman

Many climbers become writers because of the misconceptions about climbing. — Jonathan Waterman

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Wanda Rutkiewicz

I am too slow to be a good climber, so I film instead. — Wanda Rutkiewicz

Mountain Climbing Quotes By H.G.Wells

It is good to stop by the track for a space, put aside the knapsack, wipe the brows, and talk a little of the upper slopes of the mountain we think we are climbing, would but the trees let us see it. — H.G.Wells

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Jim Whittaker

If you're ever killed mountain climbing, then all that you've worked for is gone — Jim Whittaker

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

when you get to the peak, remember the valley exists — Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Bree Loewen

During my three seasons at Mount Rainier I learned a lot about mountain climbing and rescues, about politics and camaraderie in the mountains, and about what being a woman climber means. Now I know in all certainty when to bring my toothbrush and when to leave it at home, and, all things considered, that kind of confidence is hard to come by. The greatest skill I ever had, though, was the one I started with: being able to suffer for long periods of time and not die. In exchange, I got to see some amazing things. — Bree Loewen

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Steve Daines

I grew up climbing mountains in Montana and Wyoming and my wife and I were engaged on top of a mountain peak: Hyalite Peak in Montana. It was a 15-mile hike to get to the top of that, round-trip - thankfully, she said yes. — Steve Daines

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Eric Ambler

Tweeds, he soon found, are not in warm weather the ideal clothes for mountain climbing, for that was what his progress soon became. The track grew almost precipitous and he was still further hindered by the loose surface and his package of food and wine. He had been climbing for half an hour when he stopped, ate his lunch, drank his wine and smoked a pipe. Some forty minutes later, much refreshed and free of encumbrance, he continued the ascent in better style. — Eric Ambler

Mountain Climbing Quotes By T.A. Loeffler

My Everest is not your Everest. Your Everest is not mine. We all have an Everest. Each of us. Sometimes the peak is literally Mount Everest but most times it lies deep within us, figuratively occupying a mountainous inner space. It calls us to rise up, to do what we formerly labeled as impossible, and to be who we deeply and desperately want to be. I know that I have found an Everest when my soul furiously pokes me repeatedly until I listen. Heeding this call to passionate adventure of any sort initiates a journey of intense immense proportion that changes every molecule of my being. — T.A. Loeffler

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Jason Lewis

One of the questions I get asked a lot is, 'What do you do to stay in shape?' My glib answer is, 'I play.' But I mean it. Sure, I go to the gym, but I don't spend my life there. Most of my activity is outdoors, whether it's basketball or mountain biking or rock climbing. — Jason Lewis

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Matshona Dhliwayo

Staring at the mountain requires nothing.
Climbing the mountain requires strength.
Reaching the mountaintop requires perseverance.
Staying at the mountaintop requires wisdom.
Reaching for the stars requires everything. — Matshona Dhliwayo

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Khalil Gibran

Between the shores of the oceans and the summit of the highest mountain is a secret route that you must absolutely take before being one with the sons of the Earth. — Khalil Gibran

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Samina Baig

Mountain climbing is my passion, and to empower women through my expeditions is the reason. — Samina Baig

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Ice Cube

I have great people, smart people that are around me and we love the challenge. I guess it's like climbing a mountain or building a building. It's a challenge but you love every challenge that it brings or presents itself. — Ice Cube

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Reinhold Messner

Mountains are not fair or unfair, they are just dangerous. — Reinhold Messner

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Phil McGraw

There is an interconnectedness among members that bonds the family, much like mountain climbers who rope themselves together when climbing a mountain, so that if someone should slip or need support, he's held up by the others until he regains his footing. — Phil McGraw

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Bear Grylls

It was like climbing a mountain of waist-deep molasses while giving someone a fireman's carry, who, for good measure, was also trying to force a pair of frozen socks into your mouth. Nice. — Bear Grylls

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Wil McCarthy

While ice is not really alive, it is certainly animate. It exists in an dynamic state of perpetual vibration, flux and movement. Enjoy its existence, and its safe passage in the mountains. — Wil McCarthy

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Chelsea Cain

People come to Portland, many of them for the quality of life. They love the physical space here. And yet every year, people climbing the mountain get killed by avalanches. — Chelsea Cain

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Ray Anderson

We really began to think in different ways about our business in terms of climbing this mountain and it became very clear very quickly this was the smart thing to do. Not only did we start to generate answers for those customers, they embraced us for what we were trying to do. The goodwill in the market place has just been stunning. The rest of the business case is pretty simple. I cost it down not up. — Ray Anderson

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Tenzing Norgay

I have climbed my mountain, but I must still live my life. — Tenzing Norgay

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Subrahmanijan Chandrasekhar

The pursuit of science has often been compared to the scaling of mountains, high and not so high. But who amongst us can hope, even in imagination, to scale the Everest and reach its summit when the sky is blue and the air is still, and in the stillness of the air survey the entire Himalayan range in the dazzling white of the snow stretching to infinity? None of us can hope for a comparable vision of nature and of the universe around us. But there is nothing mean or lowly in standing in the valley below and awaiting the sun to rise over Kinchinjunga. — Subrahmanijan Chandrasekhar

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Maurice Herzog

The mountains were there and so was I. — Maurice Herzog

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Beth Whitman

In his book Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi refers to flow as the time when you become lost in your actions, whether climbing a mountain peak, painting or playing soccer. — Beth Whitman

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Friedrich Nietzsche

A few hours' mountain climbing make of a rogue and a saint two fairly equal creatures. Tiredness is the shortest path to equality and fraternity - and sleep finally adds to them liberty. — Friedrich Nietzsche

Mountain Climbing Quotes By Friedrich Nietzsche

Way to equality. - A few hours of mountain climbing turn a villain and a saint into two rather equal creatures. Exhaustion is the shortest way to equality and fraternity - and liberty is added eventually by sleep. 297 — Friedrich Nietzsche
