Quotes
- “I was working for my own pleasure...gathering together all my notes and drawings and a host of recollections and putting them in a book so that when I was an old man, I could look at them in leisure, recall my adventures, and go on a fell walking trip in spirit long after my legs had given up.”
- “Some people escape in dreams but I was fortunate enough to live in a perfect dreamland that actually existed. I was always happier pulling on my boots in the morning then putting on my shoes.”
- “I went whenever I could, and always my eyes lifted to the hills. I was to find a spiritual and physical satisfaction in climbing mountains and a tranquil mind upon reaching their summits, as though I had escaped from the disappointments and unkindness of life and emerged above them into a new world, a better world.”
