Adventure books are my personal favorites. 'The Endurance,' a story about Ernest Shackleton's legendary Antarctica expedition, or 'Into Thin Air,' Jon Krakauer's personal account of the 1996 disaster on Mt Everest, are two notables. -- Dean Karnazes
If the limit of age 80 is at the summit of Mt Everest, the highest place on Earth, one can never be happier. -- Yuichiro Miura
Only the person who risks is truly free. A man's conquest of himself dwarfs the conquest of Mt. Everest. -- Norman Vincent Peale
If the reason for climbing Mt. Everest is that it's hard to do, why does everyone go up the easy side? -- George Carlin
I really haven't liked the commercialization of mountaineering, particularly of Mt. Everest. By paying $65,000, you can be conducted to the summit by a couple of good guides. -- Edmund Hillary
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. -- John McPhee
Mt. Everest of Earth is 8.8 km tall; Mt. Olympus of Mars is 22 km tall. Every time you see a giant, you must know that that giant might be just a dwarf somewhere else! -- Mehmet Murat ildan
The biggest accomplishment, in racial terms, for Barack Obama was being elected. He had to overcome his blackness to be elected. He climbed the Mt. Everest of American politics, becoming an historic first. -- Randall Kennedy
I would also suggest that any aspiring writer begin with short stories. These days, I meet far too many young writers who try to start off with a novel right off, or a trilogy, or even a nine-book series. That's like starting in at rock climbing by tackling Mt. Everest. Short stories help you learn your craft. -- George R. R. Martin
