"I enjoyed climbing with other people, good friends, but I did quite a lot of solo climbing, too."
Quote by -Edmund Hillary
"Human life is far more important than just getting to the top of a mountain."
Quote by -Edmund Hillary
"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 won't see why we go."
Quote by -Edmund Hillary
"Good planning is important. I've also regarded a sense of humor as one of the most important things on a big expedition. When you're in a difficult or dangerous situation, or when you're depressed about the chances of success, someone who can make you laugh eases the tension."
Quote by -Edmund Hillary
"I think it all comes down to motivation. If you really want to do something, you will work hard for it."
Quote by -Edmund Hillary
"When you go to the mountains, you see them and you admire them. In a sense, they give you a challenge, and you try to express that challenge by climbing them."
Quote by -Edmund Hillary
"I have discovered that even the mediocre can have adventures and even the fearful can achieve."
Quote by -Edmund Hillary
"I think I mainly climb mountains because I get a great deal of enjoyment out of it. I never attempt to analyze these things too thoroughly, but I think that all mountaineers do get a great deal of satisfaction out of overcoming some challenge which they think is very difficult for them, or which perhaps may be a little dangerous."
Quote by -Edmund Hillary
"Nobody climbs mountains for scientific reasons. Science is used to raise money for the expeditions, but you really climb for the hell of it."
Quote by -Edmund Hillary
"Despite all I have seen and experienced, I still get the same simple thrill out of glimpsing a tiny patch of snow in a high mountain gully and feel the same urge to climb towards it."
