willstrickland Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 So we've all probably seen the "Quotable Climber" or whatever that book is, but how about some you've seen elsewhere? I'll get it started with these: The air thin and pure,danger near, and the spirit full of a joyful wickedness: these things go well together. - Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra Part 1 One must be accustomed to living on mountains - to seeing the wretched ephemeral chatter of politics and national egoism beneath one. - Nietzsche, The Antichrist He who climbs upon the highest mountain laughs at all tragedies, real or imaginary - Nietzsche, Thus spoke Zarathustra, Part 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I know that for destruction, ice is also great and would suffice. R. Frost   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
