“History, in [Nietzsche's] view, belongs to him who is fighting a great fight, and who needs examples, teachers and comforters, but cannot find them among his contemporaries. Without history the mountain chain of great men's great moments, which runs through millennia, could not stand clearly and vividly before me.” MenNeedsMomentsRunningFightingViewsTeacherExampleMountainChainsGreat MenGreat MomentsComforter Author:Georg Brandes
“I'm obsessed with the countryside: woods, forests, fields, lakes, mountains. I'm really into folk music and folklore. But more so I'm into electronic music.

“A horse perceives eye contact as provocative, as if it and its status in the herd are not being respected. If it cannot avoid eye contact, it will react in a different way, by rebelling for example.

In the mountains in Argentina there's a wild horse which will jump off the nearest precipice if any human tries to ride it.” IfsWayTryingHumansDifferentMightEyeAnimalExampleMountainHorseSpeciesSuperiorsContactPerceiveDifferent WaysHerdsTrainersProvocativeArgentinaPrecipiceEye ContactWild HorsesDressage Book:The Oslo Trilogy: The Redbreast, Nemesis and The Devil's Star Source: The Oslo Trilogy: The Redbreast, Nemesis and The Devil's Star
“Antarctica, one of the things that was so remarkable about it was that the ice itself is a kind of pure geometry, so say, for example, if I was facing someone wearing I don't know, a Joy Division t-shirt with the mountains on it or something like that.” IfsKnowsKindJoyExamplePureMountainIceShirtsRemarkableDivisionT ShirtGeometryAntarcticaJoy Division Author:DJ Spooky
“Unlike many spiritual leaders, Dalai Lama is never been in a position to just sit on a mountain top handing out wisdom. He's had to live out his principles in the middle of this very complex situation, every day for sixty years or more. I think it's something that moves many people about his example.” PeopleThinkingYearsSpiritualMovingSituationLeaderPrinciplesMiddleExamplePositionMountainComplexesSixtyLamaDalaiSpiritual LeaderMountain Top Author:Pico Iyer
