There is precious little in civilization to appeal to a Yeti.

Once I've decided to do something, I do usually try to carry it through to fruition.

We knocked the bastard off.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about dying, but I like to think that I've - if it did occur - that I would die peacefully and not make too much of a fuss about it.

People do not decide to become extraordinary. They decide to accomplish extraordinary things.

Despite all I have seen and experienced, I still get the same simple thrill out of glimpsing a tiny patch of snow in a high mountain gully and feel the same urge to climb towards it.
