Some mountaineers are proud of having done all their
climbs without bivouac. How much they have missed! And
the same applies to those who enjoy only rock climbing,
or only the ice climbs, only the ridges or the faces.
We should refuse none of the thousand and one joys that
the mountains offer us at every turn. We should brush
nothing aside, set no restrictions. We should experience
hunger and thirst, be able to go fast, but also know how
to go slowly and to contemplate.
-- Gaston Rebuffat, "Starlight and Storm"

- You and me we're going nowhere slowly
And we gotta get away from the past
There's nothing wrong with going nowhere baby
But we should be going nowhere fast
Everybody's going nowhere slowly
They're only fighting for the chance to be last
There's nothing wrong with going nowhere baby
But we should be going nowhere fast
It's so much better going nowhere fast.
