Why climb Mount Everest? Because it’s there  (George Leigh Mallory Quotes) One comes to bless the absolute bareness, feeling that here is a pure beauty of form, a kind of ultimate harmony  (George Leigh Mallory Quotes) The first question which you will ask and which I must try to answer is this; What is the use of climbing Mount Everest? and my answer must at once be, it is no use. There is not the slightest prospect of any gain whatsoever  (George Leigh Mallory Quotes) We will stomp to the top with the wind in our teeth  (George Leigh Mallory Quotes) To struggle and to understand. Never the last without the first. That is the law  (George Leigh Mallory Quotes) The greatest danger in life is not to take the adventure  (George Leigh Mallory Quotes) The highest of the world’s mountains, it seems, has to make but a single gesture of magnificence to be the lord of all, vast in unchallenged and isolated supremacy  (George Leigh Mallory Quotes) 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  (George Leigh Mallory Quotes) So, 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. 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 enjoy life. That is what life means and what life is for  (George Leigh Mallory Quotes) For the stone from the top for geologists, the knowledge of the limits of endurance for the doctors, but above all for the spirit of adventure to keep alive the soul of man  (George Leigh Mallory Quotes) We don’t live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means, and that is what life is for  (George Leigh Mallory Quotes) My mind is in a state of constant rebellion. I believe that will always be so  (George Leigh Mallory Quotes) Why do we travel to remote locations? To prove our adventurous spirit or to tell stories about incredible things? We do it to be alone amongst friends and to find ourselves in a land without man  (George Leigh Mallory Quotes) Mountaineers have often observed a lack of clarity in their mental state at high altitudes; it is difficult for the stupid mind to observe how stupid it is  (George Leigh Mallory Quotes)
