“When I am climbing, the mountain is part of me, and I am part of it.”
― A Story of Karma: Finding Love and Truth in the Lost Valley of the Himalaya
― A Story of Karma: Finding Love and Truth in the Lost Valley of the Himalaya
“How to get the best of it all? One must conquer, achieve, get to the top; one must know the end to be convinced that one can win the end - to know there's no dream that mustn't be dared. . . Is this the summit, crowning the day? How cool and quiet! We're not exultant; but delighted, joyful; soberly astonished. . . Have we vanquished an enemy? None but ourselves. Have we gained success? That word means nothing here. Have we won a kingdom? No. . . and yes. We have achieved an ultimate satisfaction. . . fulfilled a destiny. . . To struggle and to understand - never this last without the other; such is the law. . .”
― Climbing Everest: The Complete Writings of George Mallory
