“With buildering, I get to keep that element of danger. Plus, I very much like the feeling of height, and buildings have even more of a feeling of height than rock faces.”

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.

Life has to be dangerous.

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.

Don’t worry about the elements around you and what’s going on. You gotta get out there and get it.

Death is nothing to us, because a body that has been dispersed into elements experiences no sensations, and the absence of sensation is nothing to us.

Radium is not to enrich any one. It is an element; it is for all people.

True religion has, at its core: Love, Peace, Mercy, Justice and Freedom. If any of these elements is not fully present in a religion, the religion has been compromised.

Education is an important element in the struggle for human rights.

Education is an important element in the struggle for human rights.

How small we feel with our petty ambitions and strivings in the presence of the great elemental forces of Nature!

Together, we will continue to support the fight against this cruel disease as cancer through elements as important as prevention and research.
