My dear, life rarely gives us what we want at the moment we consider appropriate. Adventures do occur, but not punctually.

Randy Alcorn

I think my cultural work is more important than the adventures I did. The adventures are not important for human beings. It's the conquering of the useless.

Reinhold Messner

It's true that adventures are good for people even when they are very young. Adventures can get in a person's blood even if he doesn't remember having them.

Eva Ibbotson

I have my company, Elite Himalayan Adventures, which provides a platform for those who seek to push their limits on extreme adventures, whether that be Everest and Lhotse in Nepal, or K2 and Broad Peak in Pakistan.

Nirmal Purja

A lot of people go off and have fun adventures, or hard adventures, and their impulse is to write about them right away. What really makes a difference is having some perspective on what happened.
