Quotes by Jim Davidson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Tears in the corners of my eyes—of pure emotion—joy—happiness … I feel totally unburdened. The load has been lifted off my back, off my mind. I have to do nothing more to prove myself. This is not for others but for me—and to me. Observation Mountain is a beautiful place. A beautiful rare mood. A few precious moments of ecstasy somehow not meant for—or translate-able into—words. Language fails where the tears begin.”
― Jim Davidson, The Ledge: An Adventure Story of Friendship and Survival on Mount Rainier

“Allow his spirit to be peaceful, but allow it to roam free. Let him race up and down the slopes with the wind, let him trickle slowly through the canyons, let him spread completely and gracefully across the land with the setting sun. [He] deserved many things in this life he did not get, but he most assuredly deserves these things.”
― Jim Davidson, The Ledge: An Adventure Story of Friendship and Survival on Mount Rainier
