There are no words for what mountains can do to a person. Everyone should have some kind of a romance with a mountain – a mountain that challenges you, draws you, makes you submissive by its sheer size, strength, and presence.

Having things that others don't have doesn't make you special. If that's your only pleasure - that's perversion.

Whatever the most important goal of your Life may be, unless you treat it with great urgency, what could be near will be far away.

The problem with the world is not greed - it is stinginess.

To live is to give, and to give is to live.
