Alpinism Quotes

“Kako me more nekdo ljubiti in obenem trgati od gora, ki so postale moje življenje? Lahko me ljubi, živega mrliča, zunanjo podobo, toda to nisem jaz. Mene ljubiti pa je težko, ker me niti najgloblja čustva niso nikdar vezala na pusti svet vsakdanjosti. Nasprotno! Še več poleta daje mojim sanjam in hrepenenjem. Pripravljen sem bil vedno pustiti vse za seboj, da sem lahko hodil po poti, za katero sem čutil, da me kliče.”

“For me, the value of a climb is the sum of three inseparable elements, all equally important: aesthetics, history, and ethics. Together they form the whole basis of my concept of alpinism. Some people see no more in climbing mountains than an escape from the harsh realities of modern times. This is not only uninformed but unfair. I don’t deny that there can be an element of escapism in mountaineering, but this should never overshadow its real essence, which is not escape but victory over your own human frailty.”

“Definition: Alpinism is the art of going through the mountains confronting the greatest dangers with the biggest of cares. What we call art here, is the application of a knowledge to an action.”
