Of Mountains and Men Quotes

“climbing a mountain represents a chance to be briefly free oneself of the small concerns of our common lives, to strip off nonessentials, to come down to the core of life itself. Food, shelter,, and friends - these are the essentials, these plus faith and purpose and a deep and unrelenting determination.”
― Mateo Cabello, Of Mountains and Men

“Like a real traveller, he looks for whatever he has in common with the people he encounters, to a point where the sense of otherness very often vanishes completely.”
― Mateo Cabello, Of Mountains and Men
