Señor Ramon: Orphans, smile and be happy. For God has blessed us with a new teacher. She hails from the Oaxaca Parish Convent of the Immaculate Hearts Sisters Ladies Mountains of Guadalupe. Sister Encarnacion. Sister Encarnación: Thank you Brother.
Reverend Williams: The important thing about that freedom train, is it's got to climb mountains. We ALL have to climb mountains, you know. Mountains that go way up high, and mountains that go deep and low. Yes, we know what those mountains are here at Glide. We sing about them.
Aristotle: Although an inferior race, the Persians control at least four fifths of the known world. But, is it possible that the source of Egypt's mighty river Nile could rise in these distant mountains of the outer Earth? If so, an experienced navigator could find his way here, by this river, east, down into the great plains of India, out into the eastern ocean and end of the world, and by this route, up the Nile, back to Egypt, into the Middle Sea and home to Greece.
Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity...
Tony: We've got mountains of data, but nowhere near enough computer power to analyze it. Can you help us? Jack Hall: Send us what you've got. We'll do our best.
Han: There's no 'wax on wax off' of drifting. You learn by doin it. The first drifters invented drifting out here in the mountains by feelin it. So feel it.
Adieu to disappointment and spleen. What are men to rocks and mountains?
Parker: [reading article about murder] This is some pretty heavy stuff for some small town, isn't it? Karen: We should have gone to the beach. I could be getting such a good tan right now! Melissa: Don't look at me. The mountains were'nt my idea. Mark: [reads article] God. She was stabbed 13 times. She wasn't murdered, she was mutilated!

John Oldman: I suspect I saw the British Isles from what is now the French coast. Huge mountains on the other side of an enormous deep valley that was shadowed by the setting sun. This was before they were separated from the continent by the rising seas as the glacier was melting. Harry: That happened? Dan: Yes, the end of the Plasticine Period. So far what he says fits. Art: [incredulous] Oh get... from any textbook... John Oldman: And that's where I found it. How can I have knowledgeable recall if I didn't have knowledge? It's all retrospective. All I can do is integrate my recollections with modern findings.
Miriam: [singing] Many nights we've prayed/With no proof anyone could hear/In our hearts a hopeful song/We barely understood/Now we are not afraid/Although we know there's much to fear/We were moving mountains long/Before we knew we could
Ling: [Ling finishes telling Ryan the folklore about the black marks on pandas and four sister mountains who look over them] Ryan Tyler: That's bull. Ling: This is story about panda, not bull!
Come fairies take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame.
And if these mountains had eyes, they would wake to find two strangers in their fences, standing in admiration as a breathing red pours its tinge upon earth's shore. These mountains, which have seen untold sunrises, long to thunder praise but stand reverent, silent so that man's weak praise should be given God's attention.
Mike Walker: There's a mountain range over there that, as far as we know, has never been climbed. Interviewer: And you're one of the best climbers in the world, so you want to take a shot at it, right? Mike Walker: No, I don't want to take a shot at it, I want to do it.

The famous Zen parable about the master for whom, before his studies, mountains were only mountains, but during his studies mountains were no longer mountains, and afterward mountains were again mountains could be interpreted as an alleory about [the perpetual paradox that when one is closest to a destination one is also the farthest).
A lone peak of high point is a natural focal point in the landscape, something by which both travelers and local orient themselves. In the continuum of landscape, mountains are discontinuity -- culminating in high points, natural barriers, unearthly earth.
