Great things are done when Men & Mountains meet
This is not Done by Jostling in the Street. (William Blake)

Where do the highest mountains come from? I once asked. Then I learned that they come from out of the sea. The evidence is inscribed in their stone and in the walls of their summits. It is from the deepest that the highest must come to its height. (Friedrich Nietzsche)

After looking at the Alps, I felt that my mind had been stretched beyond the limits of its elasticity, and fitted so loosely on my old ideas of space that I had to spread these to fit it. (Oliver Wendell Holmes)
