Amor Quote by Jon Krakauer
““La 18.20, Cotter l-a contactat pe Hall si i-a spus ca Jan Arnold sunase din Christchurch si astepta sa i se faca legatura. - Imediat, a spus Rob.Am gura uscata. Vreau sa inghit niste zapada inainte sa vorbesc cu ea. A revenit putin mai tarziu si a spus incet, cu o voce sparta si foarte distorsionata: - Buna, draga mea. Sper ca esti in pat si ca ti-e cald. Ce faci? - Nu pot sa-ti spun cat ma gandesc la tine! a raspuns Arnold. Pari mult mai bine decat ma asteptam. Ti-e cald dragule? - Avand in vedere altitudinea si imprejurimile, mi-e destul de bine, a spus Hall, facand tot posibilul sa nu o ingrijoreze. - Cum iti sunt picioarele? - Nu mi-am dat jos bocancii ca sa ma uit, dar cred ca am niste degeraturi. - De-abia astept sa te fac bine dupa ce vii acasa, a spus Arnold. Sunt convinsa ca o sa fii salvat. Sa nu te simti singur. Iti trimit toate gandurile mele bune! - Te iubesc. Somn usor, draga mea. Te rog sa nu-ti faci prea multe griji, i-a spus Hall sotiei sale inainte sa inchida. Acestea au fost ultimele cuvinte pe care le-am auzit de la el. (ultima convorbire dintre Rob Hall si sotia sa)””

![“But [Everett] and McCandless, at least they tried to follow their dream. That’s what was great about them. They tried. Not many do.” quote by Jon Krakauer](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9a0/jon-krakauer-1557_dream_but-everett-and-mccandless-at-least-they_70025.jpg)
![“Continually question climbing pursuits. Do they draw one back to the climbing community? Or do they lead along the [inner-directed] path? This questioning generates a tension that is heightened by disillusionment. Ultimately, one reaches an emptiness, and this is where our basic spontaneous nature…” quote by Jon Krakauer](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/1db/jon-krakauer-1557_journey_continually-question-climbing-pursuits-d_78808.jpg)
