It Is Not The Mountain We Conquer,

Some Day I'm Going To Climb Everest.

I Was Not A Beater Of Children And As A Consequence I've Always Been, I Think, Very Agreeable And Co-operative.

I Have Discovered That Even The Mediocre Can Have Adventures And Even The Fearful Can Achieve.

I Have No Desire To Live Anywhere Else But New Zealand. I've Had The Good Fortune To Travel Widely Around The World, But New Zealand Is Home - And I Like To Be Here. I'm Proud To Be A New Zealander.

I Think The Whole Attitude Towards Climbing Mount Everest Has Become Rather Horrifying. The People Just Want To Get To The Top. They Don't Give A Damn For Anybody Else Who May Be In Distress And It Doesn't Impress Me At All That They Leave Someone Lying Under A Rock To Die.
