"In the mountaineer are bound up the poet, the painter, the thinker, the citizen; in him are a heart open to all fine feelings, a mind thirsty for all knowledge, an observer who on the mountains sees far into a thousand things around him and within him that most men do not see, and which serve as food for his mind and reveal a stimulating and illuminating line of thought to others. In him, too, there is the writer."--Edmondo de Amicis, speaking of Guido Rey specifically in the last sentence, I'm sure; and maybe, maybe giving non-writing climbers some slack in the first

"My beard has nothing to do with function or a lack of initiative. It's pure style. It says 'take note, squares. This is how it's done.'"
That popped out of my mouth one day as my boss was chiming in about a new "grooming" policy.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure. ~ Helen Keller

I can't believe someone is quoting Pearl S Buck. One of my favorite books is The Good Earth, full of wisdom on every page. Copied an audio version from the library, have listened to it at least 5 times now. It's such an inspiring story.
