“Dad used to say, “Death is a part of it all.” I say it’s the ugly part. But it’s why I’m here, why Eiger climbers come. We come because they died, and by dying they created this legend, and we want to be a part of the legend, without dying.”
John Harlin, The Eiger Obsession: Facing the Mountain that Killed My Father

“Good writers define reality; bad ones merely restate it. A good writer turns fact into truth; a bad writer will, more often than not, accomplish the opposite.”
Edward Albee

“Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.”
Groucho Marx, The Essential Groucho: Writings For By And About Groucho Marx

“If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.”
Oscar Wilde

“Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?”
Henry Ward Beecherr

“Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books.”
Julian Barnes, Flaubert's Parrot
