When I'm 70 or 80, I'm still going to be doing good climbs. It's going to be fun to the bitter end.

It's the journey toward doing these harder climbs that really gives value to the whole activity of climbing.

I concentrate on doing good projects.

I'll continue doing good projects.

There is only one reason to do the right thing (because it is the right thing to do), everything else is an agenda.

There was no noise, no effort, no consciences in anything he did, but in everything an indescribable lightness, a seeming impossibility of doing nothing else, or doing nothing better, which was so graceful, so natural & agreeable
