To live only for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.

To live for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.

There's a world out there, and you've got to look at both sides of the mountain in your lifetime.

A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.

What is important in life is life, and not the result of life.

The choices we make lead up to actual experiences. It is one thing to decide to climb a mountain. It is quite another to be on top of it.

The mountains seem to have conquered us long before we set foot on them, and they will remain long after our brief existence. This indomitable force of the mountains gives us humans a blank canvas on which to paint the drive of discovery and, in the process, test the limits of human performance.

The quality of life is more important than life itself.
