I'm going to be climbing for my whole life.

The best climbers have the will to hold on. They won't give up and keep trying over and over.

One of the things that separates climbing from other sports is how independent and personal it is. With most sports, you either win or lose, but climbing is about your own personal experience.

The rock still has something to teach me.

That's what's so amazing about climbing - it's not just a sport. It's a lifestyle, it's a way of being creative, of connecting with yourself and with nature.

Book depository is nothing new; there've been outlets selling books internationally via mail order for many decades - the only change is that it's now easier to find and use such services.

Making a company is a great way to improve the world while improving yourself.

I thought again how odd it was to be on formal terms with someone you had once permitted to lick your ears.

Modern education is like being taken to the world's greatest restaurant & being forced to eat the menu.

The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
