Adhiambo Agoro

“The appearance of the mountain changes, according to when in the day you beheld it and which side you approached it from. Our intellect is thus limited, so it is best not to judge others, for they may also be gazing upon the same mountain but simply viewing it from a different angle - Huja”
― Rehan Khan, A King's Armour

“There is a sense of sovereignty that comes from life on a mountain, a perception of privacy and isolation, even of dominion.”
― Tara Westover, Educated

“In mountaineering, those who think that it is a terrible tragedy to fail when close to the top and come back are people who are so naive as to be completely unaware of those who reached the top and never came back! Sometimes the best way to reach a goal is to give up on that goal for a while!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“This stretching of self beyond stretchable boundaries, this glory of being where few have stood, of listening and seeing, of feeling the sun and the rock, somehow matters very much. The exhilaration is worth every bit of the discomfort and duress. I have pushed through discomfort to another level of being. I love being here, shot through with sunlight, incandescing it outward as I receive it inward. I feel an outer glory like an aura or a nimbus”
― Ann Zwinger, Wind in the Rock: The Canyonlands of Southeastern Utah
