“For as long as people are drawn to Everest, this line of memorials will continue to grow. The mountain doesn’t care whether we’re here or not. It doesn’t compete with us. It isn’t burdened by our hopes and dreams. Everything it means to us is only what we bring to it. It’s what the mountain reveals about us that has any lasting value.” –from David Breashears, “Storm Over Everest,” 2008 P.B.S. Frontline documentary.
"It is enough if you don't freeze in the cold and if thirst and hunger don't claw at your insides. If your back isn't broken, if your feet can walk, if both arms can bend, if both eyes see, and if both ears hear, then whom should you envy? And why? Our envy of others devours us most of all. Rub your eyes and purify your heart—and prize above all in the world those who love you and who wish you well…after all, you simply do not know: it might be your last act…." (Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Gulag Archipelago, Vol. I, 591-592).
