“It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.”

“Long ago we conquered our passions looking at ourselves in the mirror of eternity.”

“Before you conquer the mountain, you must learn to overcome your fear.”

“I have found that the people who shout their opinion the loudest are usually the ones most insecure in their position.I don't think it is as much a human foible as it is a human curse that we cannot understand the beauty of a thing until it is gone.It's not that there wasn't anything to say. It's that there was too much and words were poor substitutes for our feelings.But Korczak's greatest legacy is not a public one, the massive stone mountain that he conquered, but the mountain he first conquered in himself-a mountain that he climbed alone-in this we can all empathize. (about the sculptor of Crazy Horse)”

“Nature is not our enemy, to be raped and conquered. Nature is ourselves, to be cherished and explored.”

“We’re young, we’re not monsters, no fools: we’ll conquer happiness for ourselves.”
