In overstepping our limitations, in touching the extreme boundaries of man's world, we have come to know something of its true splendor.
Maurice Herzog

Maurice Herzog

Together we knew toil, joy and pain. My fervent wish is that the nine of us who were united in face of death should remain fraternally united through life.
Maurice Herzog
