There's just you, this moment, and a choice.

Men need to know the elemental challenges that sea and mountains present. They need to know what it is to be alive and to survive when great storms come.

They must find a peak or a ridge that they can reach under their own power alone.

Great art is like a tree, which grows in a particular place and has a trunk, leaves, blossoms, boughs, fruit, and roots of its own. The more native art is, the more it belongs to the entire world, because taste is rooted in nature. When art is true, it is one with nature. This is the secret of primitive art and also of the art of the mastersMichelangelo, Czanne, Seurat, and Renoir. The secret of my best work is that it is Mexican.
