Mountain Quotes - Page 8

• Mountains are to the rest of the body of the earth, what violent muscular action is to the body of man. The muscles and tendons of its anatomy are, in the mountain, brought out with force and convulsive energy, full of expression, passion, and strength.

  John Ruskin

• The mountain has left me feeling renewed, more content and positive than I’ve been for weeks, as if something has been given back after a long absence, as if my eyes have opened once again. For this time at least, I’ve let myself be rooted in the unshakable sanity of the senses, spared my mind the burden of too much thinking, turned myself outward to experience the world and inward to savor the pleasures it has given me.

• Puedes tener el valor de escalar montañas, nadar lagos, ir en balsa al otro lado del Atlántico o del Pacífico. Eso lo puede hacer cualquier tonto, pero el valor de valerte por ti mismo, de pararte sobre tus dos sólidos pies, es algo que no te lo puede dar nadie.

• God is in the mountains. Impassive, immovable, jagged giants, separating the celestial from the terrestrial with eternal diagonal certainty. As if silently monitoring the beating heart of the creator from the universe's perfect birth. Stood in the thin air and the awe, one inhales God, involuntarily acknowledging that we are but fragments of a whole, a higher thing. The mountains remind me of my place, as a servant to truth and wonder. Yes, God is in the mountains. Perhaps the pulpit too and even in the piety of an atheist's sigh. I don't know; but I feel him in the mountains.

  Russell Brand

• Peace is Letting Go--Returning to the Silence that cannot enter the realm of words because it is too pure to be contained in words. This is why the tree, the stone, the river, and the mountain are quiet.

• Rise early. Fix a time-table to which you must try to keep. One seldom regrets having made an early start, but one always regrets having set off too late; first for reasons of safety-the adage 'it is later than you think is very true in the mountains-but also because of the strange beauty of the moment: the day comes to replace the night, the peaks gradually lighten, it is the hour of mystery but also of hope. Setting off by lantern-light, witnessing the birth of a new day as one climbs to meet the sun, this is a wonderful experience

• Ése es el encanto de un mapa. Representa el otro lado del horizonte, donde todo es posible. Tiene la magia de la anticipación sin el trabajo y el sudor de la realización. El mayor romance jamás escrito palidece ante las posibilidades de aventura que encierran los tenues senderos azules de mar a mar. El viaje perfecto nunca termina, la meta siempre está al otro lado del siguiente río, al otro lado de la siguiente montaña. Siempre hay una pista más que seguir, un espejismo más que explorar. El logro es el precio que el caminante paga por el derecho a aventurarse.

• Trabaja para conectarte con la totalidad de la vida -en lugar de identificarte con su pequeñez- y despertarás a una grandeza que ya vive dentro de ti y a la que no le molestan las pequeñas cosas de la vida más de lo que le molesta a una montaña la lluvia que cae sobre ella.

• Sabiendo lo que sabes, sé también sereno, como una montaña; y no te angusties por la desgracia. El conocimiento sin serenidad es una vela apagada; juntos son panal de miel; la miel sin cera es una cosa noble; la cera sin miel sólo sirve para quemar.

• The scenery of mountains painted on the ever-changing azure canvas of the sky, the mysterious mechanism of the human body, the rose, the green grass carpet, the magnanimity of souls, the loftiness of minds, the depth of love - all these things remind us of a God who is beautiful and noble.

• Snowboarding's tough, because you've got to go to the mountains. For me, I love the skateboard season because I get to hangout at home and still be skating. I don't have to travel to Norway or Japan or these crazy places to be snowboarding.

• Cuando interpreté a Gollum en "El Señor de los Anillos", si escalaba por la ladera de una montaña, cosa que hacía físicamente, nadaba por arroyos en todas las ocasiones, todo eso no se captó. Se filmó en 35 milímetros, y en algunas de esas tomas se utilizó rotoscopia y se pintó encima.
