quotations about mountains
For the mountains are like cold islands in the sea From the Lowlands to the Eternal Snows.
THOMAS FISHER
The Plant, Volume 1
He loved mountains, or he had loved the thought of them marching on the edge of stories brought from far away; but now he was borne down by the insupportable weight of Middle-earth. He longed to shut out the immensity in a quiet room by a fire.
J. R. R. TOLKIEN
The Lord of the Rings
The tops of the highest mountains are said to be holy; these are the places chosen for sacrifices to God.
HERODOTUS
