“It is necessary that I climb very high because of my love for you, and upon the heights there is silence.”

“… it was necessary to love silence, but before you could love silence you had to have noise.”

“[I was] happily contended to be climbing the heights and the clouds by the brush method.... rendering the God-spirit in the mountains.”

“You don't need to climb a mountain to know that it's high.”

“I failed to make the chess team because of my height.”

“The sun along the mountain bows,
the Yellow River seawards flows.
You will enjoy a grander sight
by climbing to a greater height.”

“I don't care if my love is requited or not, because being with you and the very thought of you makes me happy. The point I'm trying to make is that you are loved because I love you, Adam. Please, don't do it. Please, don't jump because I need you.”

“The sun beyond the mountains glows;
The Yellow River seawards flows.
You can enjoy a grander sight
By climbing to a greater height.”

“Jesus loved me and I knew not why.
And I loved Him because He quickened my spirit to heights beyond my stature, and to depths beyond my sounding.
Love is a sacred mystery.
To those who love, it remains forever wordless;
But to those who do not love, it may be but a heartless jest.”

“There's something in my eye. Bloodshot in disguise. God knows I really tried. Making the big time. Aiming to climb high.”
