“Life has to be dangerous.”

I did climb about 80 buildings around the world and I climbed even the five tallest.

When I climb a building, I’ve been there already, and carefully planned how to start the climb as well as how to do it.

Sometimes doing the forbidden can be nice.

Modern people are only willing to believe in their computers, while I believe in myself.

Fortunately, the courts discharged me every time after they understood what I had done.

We are living in a world where everything is based on security.

We set ourselves limits, but we are all strong enough to aim higher, to achieve our goals.

In fact, it will be very easy to climb the building because of its shape and architecture.

To me, climbing is like eating or drinking. I have to do it; it’s part of my life.

All we have to do is find such strength within ourselves. Know how to develop it.

I see myself as a climber and an activist.

I enjoy every climb – maybe it’s because it’s a literal dance between life and death.

Whenever I climb I have to also entertain.

I don’t want to follow the herd.

I was not willing to give up because I was born to like taking risks and that is my way of life.

When I was 12, I forgot the keys to my parent’s apartment. So I simply climbed up seven floors to get in.

The search for Nirvana, like the search for Utopia or the end of history or the classless society, is ultimately a futile and dangerous one. It involves, if it does not necessitate, the sleep of reason. There is no escape from anxiety and struggle.

Some propositions are so dangerous that it may even be ethical to kill people for believing them.

Let us never forget that our chief danger is from within. The world and the devil combined, cannot do us as much harm as our own hearts will, if we do not watch and pray.

There are no forces on this planet more dangerous to all of us than the fanaticisms of fundamentalism.

A mood can be a dangerous state of mind, because it can crush reason under the weight of feeling.

There’s a terrible danger in voting for the lesser of two evils because the parties can set it up that way.

Our bridge to the future must include bridges to other nations, because we remain the world’s indispensable nation to advance prosperity, peace and freedom and to keep our own children safe from the dangers of terror and weapons of mass destruction.

The world is always going to be dangerous, and people get badly banged up, but how can there be more meaning than helping one another stand up in a wind and stay warm?
