• I took a dozen of our top managers to Argentina, to the windswept mountains of the real Patagonia, for a walkabout. In the course of roaming around those wild lands, we asked ourselves why we were in business and what kind of business we wanted Patagonia to be. A billion-dollar company? Okay, but not if it meant we had to make products we couldn't be proud of. And we discussed what we could do to help stem the environmental harm we caused as a company. We talked about the values we had in common, and the shared culture that had brought everyone to Patagonia, Inc., and not another company.

• I never wanted to be a businessman; I was a craftsman and good at working with my hands. At some point, I decided that this company is my best resource. Patagonia now exists to put into practice all the things that smart people are saying we have to do not only to save the planet but to save the economy.

• What they don't realize is that I'm not in the business to make clothes. I'm not in the business to make more money for myself, for Christ's sake. This is the reason Patagonia exists - to put into action the recommendations I read about in books to avoid environmental collapse. That's the reason I'm in business - to try to clean up our own act, and try to influence other companies to do the right thing, and try to influence our customers to do the right thing. So we're not going to change.

• Practicar deportes de riesgo me había enseñado otra lección importante: no sobrepasar nunca tus límites. Vas al límite y vives para esos momentos en los que estás justo al borde, pero no te pasas. Tienes que ser fiel a ti mismo, conocer tus puntos fuertes y tus limitaciones y vivir dentro de tus posibilidades. Lo mismo ocurre con una empresa. Cuanto antes intente una empresa ser lo que no es, cuanto antes intente "tenerlo todo", antes morirá.

• In all times and in all places--in Constantinople, northwestern Zambia, Victorian England, Sparta, Arabia, . . . medieval France,Babylonia, . . . Carthage, Mahenjo-Daro, Patagonia, Kyushu, . . . Dresden--the time span between childhood and adulthood, however fleeting or prolonged, has been associated with the acquisition of virtue as it is differently defined in each society. A child may be good and morally obedient, but only in the process of arriving at womanhood or manhood does a human being become capable of virtue--that is, the qualities of mind and body that realize society's ideals.

• En el mundo exterior de esta habitación de cristal, los pájaros cantores se alimentan y descansan en los árboles. Algunos despegarán esta noche y no aterrizarán hasta llegar a Venezuela. Los correlimos, los chorlitejos y los halcones de ala ancha ya han partido hacia la Patagonia y Panamá. Los murciélagos se dirigen a las cuevas de Kentucky y Tennessee. En el Atlántico, las ballenas jorobadas pasan de camino al Caribe. Incluso ahora, los gansos canadienses nos tocan la bocina desde Quebec. Cada vez que te miro, pienso: "Ahora no puedo morir".

• Siempre me he considerado una persona del 80%. Me gusta dedicarme con pasión a un deporte o una actividad hasta que alcanzo un nivel del 80%. Ir más allá requiere una obsesión que no me atrae. Una vez que alcanzo el nivel del 80%, me gusta ir y hacer algo totalmente diferente; eso explica probablemente la diversidad de los productos Patagonia y por qué nuestra ropa versátil y polifacética es la que tiene más éxito.

• The Mapuche are our indigenous people from the south, the Patagonia. They are a vey wise and luminous ancient cavitation, which is completely opposite to where Nazism was headed. In the novel [Wakolda], the theme of racial purity and the Nazi obsession with it was much more developed.
