Self-mastery is a challenge for every individual. Only we can control our appetites and passions. Self-mastery cannot be bought by money or fame. It is the ultimate test of our character. It requires climbing out of the deep valleys of our lives and scaling our own Mount Everests.

I've become quite a serious explorer: I've been to Everest three times I'm the oldest man to reach the North Pole and I've just been to the lost world of Venezuela.

I can't understand why men make all this fuss about Everest-it's only a mountain.

Spiritual guidance needs guidance. It's like comparing walking on the ground and mountain climbing. Once you learn how to walk, you can walk on the ground by yourself, but if you want to climb Mount Everest, you need a guide.

Mountains are not fair or unfair, they are just dangerous.

'The Blade Itself' was my first book. Probably I should've tried a few short stories first, but for some reason I decided to begin with Everest.

I think Mount Everest is gorgeous, too, but that doesn’t mean I have any intention of trying to climb it

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.

I respect Everest very much.

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

I'm kind of obsessed by Everest and all those men that mountaineer and take themselves to extreme limits. Having gone back to Scotland to work on Outlander, I've been climbing a lot and getting out in the Highlands.

It's kind of too movie-like to say, When I started climbing, I knew I wanted to climb Everest some day. Instead, I just started rock climbing as a kid, when I was 16, and then I started teaching and a buddy of mine started taking me out.

While on top of Everest, I looked across the valley towards the great peak Makalu and mentally worked out a route about how it could be climbed. It showed me that even though I was standing on top of the world, it wasn't the end of everything. I was still looking beyond to other interesting challenges.

I was never comfortable with the risk of climbing in the Himalayas, or the amount of time in idleness that is involved in the Everest expedition.

If the reason for climbing Mt. Everest is that it's hard to do, why does everyone go up the easy side?
George Carlin

If by some fiat I had to restrict all this writing to one sentence, this is the one I would choose: The summit of Mt. Everest is marine limestone.

I never imagined I could make it to the top of Mount Everest at age 80. This is the world's best feeling, although I'm totally exhausted. Even at 80, I can still do quite well.

Technique and ability alone do not get you to the top it is the willpower that is the most important. This willpower you cannot buy with money or be given by others... it rises from your heart.

A day might just be twenty-four hours but sometimes getting through one seems as impossible as scaling Everest.
Gayle Forman

The nuclear peril is usually seen in isolation from the threats to other forms of life and their ecosystems, but in fact it should be seen at the very center of the ecological crisis, as the cloud-covered Everest of which the more immediate, visible kinds of harm to the environment are the mere foothills.

How will we get back up? I worried. I have a different route in mind for our return trip. Does it involve stairs? I asked hopefully. No. Of course not. How silly of me. And for our return adventure we will be scaling the side of Mount Everest, hiking boots to be provided by our trusty sponsor, Barrons Books and Baubles.

I was asked to give a speech on the Everest swim, and during the Everest swim, I changed. I changed as a person, I honestly did. That mountain changed me, and I gave a speech about it for nine minutes.
Lewis Pugh

Everest? Don't forget it's really just a big pile of rocks.
David Breashears

I was in continual agony I have never in my life been so tired as on the summit of Everest that day. I just sat and sat there, oblivious to everything.
