| 56fa254 | When I rest I feel utterly lifeless except that my throat burns when I draw breath.... I can scarcely go on. No despair, no happiness, no anxiety. I have not lost the mastery of my feelings, there are actually no more feelings. I consist only of will. After each few metres this too fizzles out in unending tiredness. Then I think nothing. I let myself fall, just lie there. For an indefinite time I remain completely irresolute. Then I make a .. | Jon Krakauer | ||

| b96e4f9 | Jeroen had gelijk, dacht Aleyt terwijl ze de teugels weer nam en het paard zich in beweging zette. De wereld draait op dwaasheid. Het verlangen om alles beter te maken leeft wel bij enkelen, maar die worden machteloos meegesleept door de willoze massa, die om sinistere redenen verkiest zich een waardeloos leven lang in de misere te blijven wentelen. Als maden in rottend vlees. | John Vermeulen | ||

| 1f1e9b0 | There are many shades in the danger of adventures and gales, and it is only now and then that there appears on the face of facts a sinister violence of intention--that indefinable something which forces it upon the mind and the heart of a man, that this complication of accidents or these elemental furies are coming at him with a purpose of malice, with a strength beyond control, with an unbridled cruelty that means to tear out of him his ho.. | Jon Krakauer | ||
| 751505d | Above the comforts of Base Camp, the expedition in fact became an almost Calvinistic undertaking. The ratio of misery to pleasure was greater by an order of magnitude than any other mountain I'd been on; I quickly came to understand that climbing Everest was primarily about enduring pain. And in subjecting ourselves to week after week of toil, tedium, and suffering, it struck me that most of us were probably seeking, above all else, somethi.. | Jon Krakauer | ||

| 553f14f | Por fin se habia liberado de las ataduras, emancipado del mundo opresivo formado por sus padres y los que eran iguales que ellos, un mundo hecho de abstracciones, seguridad y bienestar material, un mundo en el que sentia como una dolorosa amputacion la ausencia del latir puro y salvaje de la existencia.

| 4e845dc | It seems more than a little patronizing for Westerners to lament the loss of the good old days when life in the Khumbu was so much simpler and more picturesque. Most of the people who live in this rugged country seem to have no desire to be severed from the modern world or the untidy flow of human progress. The last thing Sherpas want is to be preserved as specimens in an anthropological museum. | Jon Krakauer | ||
| bf0067a | Podia intentar explicar que se regia por un codigo de orden superior; argumentar que, como moderno seguidor de las ideas de Henry David Thoreau, habia adoptado como evangelio el ensayo titulado Sobre el deber de la desobediencia civil y consideraba que no someterse a unas leyes opresivas e injustas era una obligacion moral. | Jon Krakauer | ||

| 02aeb9a | The more improbable the situation and the greater the demands made on [the climber], the more sweetly the blood flows later in release from all that tension. The possibility of danger serves merely to sharpen his awareness and control. And perhaps this is the rationale of all risky sports: You deliberately raise the ante of effort and concentration in order, as it were, to clear your mind of trivialities. It's a small scale model for living.. | Jon Krakauer | ||
| 63ec366 | We tell ourselves stories in order to live.... We look for the sermon in the suicide, for the social or moral lesson in the murder of five. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the "ideas" with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience.

| a3d923c | In quella primavera del 1996, sulle pendici dell'Everest, non mancavano i sognatori: le credenziali di molti aspiranti scalatori della montagna erano esili quanto le mie, se non di piu. Quando per ciascuno di noi veniva il momento di valutare le proprie possibilita e di soppesarle contro la sfida formidabile rappresentata dalla montagna piu alta del mondo, a volte si aveva l'impressione che meta della popolazione del campo base soffrisse di.. | Jon Krakauer | ||

| b5383ce | Many traumatized people expose themselves, seemingly compulsively, to situations reminiscent of the original trauma....Freud thought the aim of repetition was to gain mastery, but clinical experience has shown that this rarely happens; instead, repetition causes further suffering for the victims or for people in their surroundings.

| 853f856 | The eight-man expedition was pinned down in a ferocious blizzard high on K2, waiting to make an assault on the summit, when a team member named Art Gilkey developed thrombophlebitis, a life-threatening altitude-induced blood clot. Realising that they would have to get Gilkey down immediately to have any hope of saving him, Schoening and the others started lowering him down the mountain's steep Abruzzi Ridge as the storm raged. At 25,000 fee.. | Jon Krakauer | ||
| fde46e9 | they share this common idea that a rapist is a guy in a ski mask, wielding a knife, who drags women into the bushes. But these undetected rapists don't wear masks or wield knives or drag women into the bushes. So they had absolutely no sense of themselves as rapists and were only too happy to talk about their sexual behaviors. | Jon Krakauer | ||

| 3c630e6 | It is easy when you are young to believe that what you desire is no less than what you deserve, to assume that if you want something badly enough it is your God-given right to have it... I was a raw youth who mistook passion for insight and acted according to an obscure, gap-ridden logic. I thought climbing the Devil's Thumb would fix all that was wrong in my life. In the end, of course, it changed almost nothing...I came to appreciate that.. | dreams risk travel | Jon Krakauer | |
