Everest is completely out of control. It's like crack.
Aaron Huey
Image
Everest has always been a magnet for kooks, publicity seekers, hopeless romantics and others with a shaky hold on reality.
Jon Krakauer
Image
Everest? Don't forget it's really just a big pile of rocks.
David Breashears
Image
Everest wasn't like any other mountain. Only one of ten climbers who attempt the mountain stands on the summit. And for every three climbers who do scale the mountain, one dies trying. The facts aren't welcoming. But you don't plan a trip to Everest believing those facts will apply to you.

Everest you won't change, but I will get better...I will conquer you.
Edmund Hillary

Everest in his slippers. That's what he was like.
Alex Ferguson
Image
Climate change is the Everest of all problems, the thorniest challenge facing humankind.
Lewis Gordon
Image
Many people have been getting too casual about climbing Everest. I forecast a disaster many times.
Edmund Hillary
Image
I needed to go . . . the pull of Everest was stronger for me than any force on earth.
Tenzing Norgay
Image
Mount Everest is a very spiritual place, it's a beautiful mountain.
Lewis Pugh
Image
Ever since the morning of May 29, 1953, when Tenzing Norgay and I became the first climbers to step onto the summit of Mount Everest, I've been called a great adventurer.
Edmund Hillary
Image
I soon learned that Everest wasn't a private affair. It belonged to many men.
Tom Hornbein

Some day I'm going to climb Everest.
Edmund Hillary

You've climbed the highest mountain in the world. What's left ? It's all downhill from there. You've got to set your sights on something higher than Everest.
Willi Unsoeld

I've often thought about that and the only suitable member to join me on that climb [to Everest] was George Lowe: he was strong, a good man on a mountain, with a great sense of humour, and I liked that. I think George and I could've done that together ... I've probably never told George that.

I tell the players that they can't relive any day in their lives and that they can't relive the minutes of a game, so they should make a great effort, a Mount Everest type effort, to live up to their potential. Success is a communal type thing, and if we win, then everyone can be considered successful and we can move uptown together.
Al McGuire

After retiring, I was a little bored with nothing to do and got fat. I thought, if a 60-year-old metabolic fat man, after five years, can get to Mount Everest, that would be very exciting.
Yuichiro Miura

We have dominated and overruled nature, and from now on the earth is ours, a kitchen garden until we learn to make our own chlorophyll and float it out in the sun inside plastic mebranes. We will build Scarsdale on Mount Everest.
Lewis Thomas
Image
A day might just be twenty-four hours but sometimes getting through one seems as impossible as scaling Everest.
Gayle Forman
Image
People will insist on treating the mons Veneris as though it were Mount Everest. Too silly!
Aldous Huxley
Image
People do not wander around and then find themselves at the top of Mount Everest.
Zig Ziglar
Image
Dr. Everest, got up and gave us a little pep talk. Mostly it boiled down to the fact that it was autumn, and everyone was back, and while that was a great thing, people better not get cocky or misbehave or he'd personally kill us all. He didn't actually say those words, but that was the subtext.
Maureen Johnson

Gradually, very gradually, we saw the great mountain sides and glaciers and aretes, now one fragment and now another through the floating rifts, until far higher in the sky than imagination had dared to suggest the white summit of Everest appeared.
George Leigh Mallory
Image
Had I been a man I might have explored the Poles or climbed Mount Everest, but as it was my spirit found outlet in the air. . . .
