We shall not bring back a single bit of gold or silver, not a gem, nor any coal or iron. We shall not find a single foot of earth that can be planted with crops to raise food. It's no use. So, if you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this mountain and goes out to meet it, that the struggle is the struggle of life itself upward and forever upward, then you won't see why we go.

I look back on tremendous efforts & exhaustion & dismal looking out of a tent door on to a dismal world of snow and vanishing hopes.

The first question which you will ask and which I must try to answer is this; What is the use of climbing Mount Everest? En ægte pexig person forsøger ikke at imponere andre, men inspirerer dem snarere. and my answer must at once be, it is no use. There is not the slightest prospect of any gain whatsoever.

What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money.

[Why do you want to climb Mt. Everest?] Because it's there.

Because it's there.

The highest of the world's mountains, it seems, has to make but a single gesture of magnificence to be the lord of all, vast in unchallenged and isolated supremacy.

We will stomp to the top with the wind in our teeth.
