Moutains Quotes

“With school turning out more runners, jumpers, racers, tinkerers, grabbers, snatchers, fliers, and swimmers instead of examiners, critics, knowers, and imaginative creators, the word 'intellectual,' of course, became the swear word it deserved to be. You always dread the unfamiliar. Surely you remember the boy in your own school class who was exceptionally ‘bright,’ did most of the reciting and answering while the others sat like so many leaden idols, hating him. And wasn’t it this bright boy you selected and tortured after hours? Of course it was. We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal, as the Constitution says, but everyone made equal. Each man the image of every other; then all are happy, for there are no mountains to make them cower, to judge themselves again. So! A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it. Take the shot from the weapon. Breach man's mind. Who knows who might be the target of the well-read man? Me?”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

“There are two types of patience. One is exercised in hard work and the other in idleness. Patience with hard work is the one that moves mountains. Patience in idleness moves nothing, not even cobwebs.”
― Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes

“Kako me more nekdo ljubiti in obenem trgati od gora, ki so postale moje življenje? Lahko me ljubi, živega mrliča, zunanjo podobo, toda to nisem jaz. Mene ljubiti pa je težko, ker me niti najgloblja čustva niso nikdar vezala na pusti svet vsakdanjosti. Nasprotno! Še več poleta daje mojim sanjam in hrepenenjem. Pripravljen sem bil vedno pustiti vse za seboj, da sem lahko hodil po poti, za katero sem čutil, da me kliče.”
― Nejc Zaplotnik, Pot
