"My belief is that our purpose as spiritual beings is to follow our bliss, seek our passions, and live our lives as inspirations to each other." -Aron Ralston - Between A Rock and A hard Place	"Life in the mountains draws out the character of those that journey there. Maybe this is one of the many reasons why we climb - to see ourselves at the core, not packaged and contained as we are when living within the constraints of technology and consumerism." -Jim Litch
"Joy is not in things; it is in us." -Richard Wagner	"Good things as well as bad are caught by a kind of infection. If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire; it you want to get wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them... They are a great fountain of energy and beauty spurting up at the very centre of reality. If you are close to it, the spray will wet you: if you are not, you will remain dry." -C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity
"It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves." -Sir Edmund Hillary	"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." -Anais Nin
