• While on top of Everest, I looked across the valley towards the great peak Makalu and mentally worked out a route about how it could be climbed. It showed me that even though I was standing on top of the world, it wasn't the end of everything. I was still looking beyond to other interesting challenges.

• The explorers of the past were great men and we should honour them. But let us not forget that their spirit lives on. It is still not hard to find a man who will adventure for the sake of a dream or one who will search, for the pleasure of searching, not for what he may find.

• The first question which you will ask and which I must try to answer is this; What is the use of climbing Mount Everest? and my answer must at once be, it is no use. There is not the slightest prospect of any gain whatsoever.

• Geography was not furthered by the achievement, scientific progress was scarcely hastened, and nothing new was discovered. Yet the names of Hillary and Tenzing went instantly into all languages as the names of heroes, partly because they really were men of heroic mold but chiefly because they represented so compellingly the spirit of their time.

• I would also suggest that any aspiring writer begin with short stories. These days, I meet far too many young writers who try to start off with a novel right off, or a trilogy, or even a nine-book series. That's like starting in at rock climbing by tackling Mt. Everest. Short stories help you learn your craft.

• Cuando los alpinistas de 1953 plantaron sus banderas en la montaña más alta, las colocaron en la nieve sobre los esqueletos de criaturas que habían vivido en el cálido océano claro que la India, avanzando hacia el norte, borró. Posiblemente hasta seis mil metros por debajo del fondo marino, los restos esqueléticos se habían convertido en roca. Este hecho es un tratado en sí mismo sobre los movimientos de la superficie de la tierra. Si por algún motivo tuviera que limitar todo este escrito a una sola frase, elegiría ésta: La cima del Everest es caliza marina.
