    Climbing is unadulterated hard labor. The only real pleasure is the satisfaction of going where no man has been before and where few can follow.
    —Annie Smith Peck (1850–1935)

    Come, and trip it as ye go
    On the light fantastic toe,
    And in thy right hand lead with thee,
    The mountain nymph, sweet Liberty;
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    I can’t earn my own living. I could never make anything turn into money. It’s like making fires. A careful assortment of paper, shavings, faggots and kindling nicely tipped with pitch will never light for me. I have never been present when a cigarette butt, extinct, thrown into a damp and isolated spot, started a conflagration in the California woods.
    Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
