More From Edmund Hillary

We've been in the mountain of war. we've been in the mountain of violence. we've been in the mountain of hatred long enough. it is necessary to move on now, but only by moving out of this mountain can we move to the promised land of justice and brotherhood and the kingdom of god. it all boils down to the fact that we must never allow ourselves to become satisfied with unattained goals. we must always maintain a kind of divine discontent.
War Moving Land
Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. climb the mountain just a little bit to test it's a mountain. from the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.
Mountain Littles Tests
The description is not the described; i can describe the mountain, but the description is not the mountain, and if you are caught up in the description, as most people are, then you will never see the mountain
Love Life Truth
No one has ever laughed at a pun who did not see in the one word a twofold meaning. to materialists this world is opaque like a curtain; nothing can be seen through it. a mountain is just a mountain, a sunset just a sunset; but to poets, artists, and saints, the world is transparent like a window pane - it tells of something beyond....a mountain tells of the power of god, the sunset of his beauty, and the snowflake of his purity.
Beauty God Faith
I meditate for the last time on this mountain that is bare, though others all around are white with snow. like the bare peak of the koan, this one is not different from myself. i know this mountain because i am this mountain, i can feel it breathing at this moment, as its grass tops stray against the snows. if the snow leopard should leap from the rock above and manifest itself before me - s-a-a-o! - then in that moment of pure fright, out of my wits, i might truly perceive it, and be free.
Time Nature Rocks
You see, if the height of the mercury [barometer] column is less on the top of a mountain than at the foot of it (as i have many reasons for believing, although everyone who has so far written about it is of the contrary opinion), it follows that the weight of the air must be the sole cause of the phenomenon, and not that abhorrence of a vacuum, since it is obvious that at the foot of the mountain there is more air to have weight than at the summit, and we cannot possibly say that the air at the foot of the mountain has a greater aversion to empty space than at the top.

Similar Quotes
If you believe, then you hang on. if you believe, it means you've got imagination, you don't need stuff thrown out on a blueprint, and don't face facts-what can stop you? if i don't make it today, i'll come in tomorrow.
Believe Mean Imagination
This love of ours, in so far as it is a love for one particular creature, is not perhaps a very real thing, since, though associations of pleasant or painful musings can attach it for a time to a woman to the extent of making us believe that it has been inspired by her in a logically necessary way, if on the other hand we detach ourselves deliberately or unconsciously from those associations, this love, as though it were in fact spontaneous and sprang from ourselves alone, will revive in order to bestow itself on another woman.
Love Real Believe
It is so important for me to keep authentic cuban sounds alive. all of these great artists have changed the landscape of latin music and it's an honor to have them on this album ["90 millas," released in september of 2007]. i believe this album will expose a new generation to the richness of cuban music.

What some of us believe is that it is possible that if chemicals are related to gulf war illness that some of the more severe symptoms may not erupt until 10 or 20 years down the line.
