Aron Ralston
“How would I behave in a situation that caused me to summon the essence of my character? The tragedy inspired me to test myself. I wanted to reveal to myself who I was: the kind of person who died, or the kind of person who overcame circumstances to help himself and others”
Aron Ralston, Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Aron Ralston
“It's me. I chose this. I chose all of this — this rock has been waiting for me my entire life. I’ve been moving towards it my whole life.”
Aron Ralston, Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Aron Ralston
“People say that we're searching for the meaning of life. I don't think that's it at all. I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”
Aron Ralston, 127 Hours Movie Tie- In: Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Aron Ralston
“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon,for each day to have a new and different sun.”
Aron Ralston, Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Aron Ralston
“Mountains are the means, the man is the end. The goal is not to reach the top of the mountains, but to improve the man.”
Aron Ralston, 127 Hours Movie Tie- In: Between a Rock and a Hard Place
