“A mountain climber sets off onto the mountain on the mountain’s terms: he takes the time the mountain demands, using the methods the mountain requires, and is finally rewarded by the vision granted by the mountain, when it has set free the forces within him. And while he walks, and feels the muscles toiling, and his body responding to the mountain at every step, the walker is gradually set free of everything that happens in the lowlands, what we call culture and society. The higher he climbs, the noise and bickering and squabbling – what we call debate – all human concerns, fade into the distance. It all becomes so small and quiet, up there.”
