• On eyes that watch as well as eyes that weep
  Descends the solemn mystery of sleep,
  Toiling and climbing to the very close,
  The weary Body, longing for repose,
  On the gained level of the day's ascent,
  Halts for the night and pitches there its tent.

• The experience of climbing Kilimanjaro affected me so powerfully that, for a long time afterward, if I caught myself saying, "I'm not a person who likes to do that activity, eat that food, listen to that music," I would automatically go out and do what I imagined I didn't like. Generally I found I was wrong about myself - I liked what I thought I wouldn't like. And even if I didn't like the particular experience, I learned I liked having new experiences.
