Our peace shall stand as firm as rocky mountains. - William Shakespeare I was asleep when our plane hit the runway, but the jolt brought me instantly awake. I looked out the window and saw the Rocky Mountains. What the fuck was I doing here? I wondered. It made no sense at all. I decided to call my attorney as soon as possible. Have him wire me some money to buy a huge albino Doberman. Denver is a national clearing house for stolen Dobermans; they come from all parts of the country. - Hunter S Thompson To my way of thinking, no one can live in the grandest cathedral on earth, the Rocky Mountains, and not know that there's someone bigger than man in charge of the world. - Mary Connealy I am a Tralfamadorian, seeing all time as you might see a stretch of the Rocky Mountains. All time is all time. It does not change. It does not lend itself to warnings or explanations. It simply is. - Kurt Vonnegut That wasn't so bad. She said, dabbing at her mouth with a napkin. What was it?...

Randy [Rhoads] was laid to rest at a place called Mountain View Cemetery, where his grandparents were buried. I made a vow there and then to honour his death every year by sending flowers. Unlike most of my vows, I kept it. But I've never been back to his graveside. I'd like to go there again one day, before I finally join him on the other side. - Ozzy Osbourne When we tire of well-worn ways, we seek for new. This restless craving in the souls of men spurs them to climb, and to seek the mountain view. - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

It's funny. I met a man once who did a lot of mountain climbing. I asked him which was harder, ascending or descending? He said without a doubt descending, because ascending you were so focused on reaching the top, you avoided mistakes. The backside of a mountain is a fight against human nature," he said. "You have to care as much about yourself on the way down as you did on the way up. - Mitch Albom The negotiations were simultaneously cerebral and physical, abstract and personal, something like a combination of chess and mountain climbing. - Richard Holbrooke What I mean by photographing as a participant rather than observer is that I'm not only involved directly with some of the activities that I photograph, such as mountain climbing, but even when I'm not I have the philosophy that my mind and body are part of the natural world. - Galen Rowell One way to get high blood pressure is to go mountain climbing over molehills. - Earl Wilson Mountains were once m...

I wonder if it's like this for mountain climbers, he thought. You climb bigger and bigger mountains and you know that one day one of them is going to be just that bit too steep. But you go on doing it, because it's so-o good when you breathe the air up there. And you know you'll die falling. - Terry Pratchett There's a lot of mountain climbers trapped inside of bodies of people behind the counter at Kinko's. - Henry Rollins

But you go on doing it, because it's so-o good when you breathe the air up there. And you know you'll die falling. - Terry Pratchett People think librarians are unromantic, unimaginative. This is not true. We are people whose dreams run in particular ways. Ask a mountain climber what he feels when he sees a mountain; a lion tamer what goes through his mind when he meets a new lion; a doctor confronted with a beautiful malfunctioning body. The idea of a library full of books, the books full of knowledge, fills me with fear and love and courage and endless wonder. - Elizabeth Mccracken There's a lot of mountain climbers trapped inside of bodies of people behind the counter at Kinko's. - Henry Rollins Dan pulled him in. Anchored him. Secured him, like one mountain climber to the other, rope...

I love England though; I've been back a few times and just love it. My favorite thing to do there is going to museums and all the castles. Oh, and my husband and I went mountain biking across England on our honeymoon! - Catherine Bell I'm a huge camper, and love hiking and mountain biking. - Anna Torv Cycling keeps me lean and I need to stay in shape, especially as I still like eating chocolate and ice-cream! I like to go mountain biking too. Running is also good; it's what we were designed to do as humans, so it comes naturally. - Mark Webber

Getting old is like climbing a mountain; you get a little out of breath, but the view is much better! - Ingrid Bergman Housework is a breeze. Cooking is a pleasant diversion. Putting up a retaining wall is a lark. But teaching is like climbing a mountain. - Fawn M Brodie Creating a new theory is not like destroying an old barn and erecting a skyscraper in its place. It is rather like climbing a mountain, gaining new and wider views, discovering unexpected connections between our starting points and its rich environment. But the point from which we started out still exists and can be seen, although it appears smaller and forms a tiny part of our broad view gained by the mastery of the obstacles on our adventurous way up. - Albert Einstein There is something inherently manly about climbing a mountain. Though, taken literally, that would make a deep sea dive the most feminine activity on the planet. - Sloane Crosley I have great people, smart people that are around me and we love the...

You don't need to climb a mountain to know that it's high. - Paulo Coelho You don't need to climb a mountain in order to know that it's high. - Paulo Coelho If there was the opportunity to climb a mountain, or to go ballooning, or some adventurous activity, I would always be keen to do it. I loved the countryside. - Roger Bannister Ray, what you got to do is go climb a mountain.. - Jack Kerouac When preparing to climb a mountain - pack a light heart. - Dan May Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean. - John Muir

'Brokeback Mountain' just blew me away. I'll always remember talking to Heath Ledger just after he finished that movie and he was going on about working with Ang and how incredible he was. - Emile Hirsch He pressed his face into the fabric and breathed in slowly through his mouth and nose, hoping for the faintest smoke and mountain sage and salty sweet stink of Jack but there was no real scent, only the memory of it, the imagined power of Brokeback Mountain of which nothing was left but what he held in his hands. - Annie Proulx Is there a support group for people who didn't like 'Brokeback Mountain'? We must, if the rave reviews and the newspaper reports are to be believed, be a very tiny not to mention vulnerable minority. Am I dead inside because I didn't experience the torrent of emotions I've been reading about? Am I as emotionally crippled as Ennis because I didn't blub and hug after sitting through this 'visceral' movie, but instead...
