George Mallory quote #129 from Climbing Everest: The Complete Writings of George Mallory

People ask me What is the use of climbing Mount Everest and my answer must at once be It is of no use.There is not the slightest prospect of any gain whatsoever. Oh we may learn a little about the behaviour of the human body at high altitudes and possibly medical men may turn our observation to some account for the purposes of aviation. But otherwise nothing will come of it. We shall not bring back a single bit of gold or silver not a gem nor any coal or iron... If you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this mountain and goes out to meet it that the struggle is the struggle of life itself upward and forever upward then you wont see why we go. What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is after all the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to live. That is what life means and what life is for.

Richelle E. Goodrich quote #19 from Secrets of a Noble Key Keeper

Gavin stood within the trees observing her from the shadows. He watched the basket rise to her nose as she closed her eyes to sniff at its contents. A smile told him it smelled delicious but she didnt open the container to pinch off a sample. Instead the basket lowered to swing at her side as it had previously done.All at once the air was filled with soft singing--a sweet merry tune comprised of ludicrous lyrics. It was impossible not to grin at the words.Rainbows paint the sky til the sun melts their colors.Swinging in the wind whiskered cattails purr.The pigs gallop by and snort at the moonWhile frogs kiss the lizards and princesses too.

Eli Brown quote #112 from Cinnamon and Gunpowder

After dessert we sipped on strong cups of tea one of the luxuries we can afford to take for granted here in the trade routes.Delightful she said. If only for a little cream.Dont speak to me of cream Captain. I dream about milk at least twice a week. I run naked with milk running in rivulets from the corners of my mouth. I even miss humble parsley--zounds how Ive taken that weed for granted And butter Ill not describe my butter dreams theyre too depraved.Mabbot chuckled. We must leave something for dreams.
