When you're climbing at high altitudes, life can get pretty miserable.

It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.

I will come again & conquer you because as a mountain you can't grow, but as a human, I can

People do not decide to become extraordinary. They decide to accomplish extraordinary things.

With practice and focus, you can extend yourself far more than you ever believed possible.

Mount Everest, you beat me the first time, but I'll beat you the next time because you've grown all you are going to grow... but I'm still growing!

If you let the world in, you open yourself up to the world. Even if the world doesn't know that you're there.

As I've said, freedom is really an illusion. Anytime we think we have a real choice, it just means we haven't seen the shotgun aimed at our navel.

Death Of A Salesman is a great acting job.

Things change whether you want them to, or not--unless you are dead. Don't hold so hard to the past that you die with it.
