Sometimes I brush my hair...

"When inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bounds: your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person than you ever dreamed to be."

-- Pantanjali, 150 A.D.

"All of us knew that climbing was a sure way to stay poor, a lousy way to impress people and definitely no way to meet girls."

-- Peter Croft

"A man's passion for the mountain is, above all, his childhood which refuses to die."

-- François Mauriac

"When you are in harmony with yourself and with the things you do, your body is fickle and you can do incredible things. Without doubt here comes the question of why really climb for. Many times men go to the mountain to obtain prestige, raise money and with this everything changes; then you become heavy."

-- From the diary of Anila, a tibetan nun

"Only the Spirits of the Air know what awaits me behind the mountains, but still I travel onwards."

-- Old Eskimo proverb

"Happiness only real when shared."

-- Christopher McCandless
