quotations about mountains
There is an awful sublimity in a burning mountain.
COUNT STRZELECKI
attributed, Day's Collacon
He loved mountains, or he had loved the thought of them marching on the edge of stories brought from far away; but now he was borne down by the insupportable weight of Middle-earth. He longed to shut out the immensity in a quiet room by a fire.
J. R. R. TOLKIEN
The Lord of the Rings
The tops of the highest mountains are said to be holy; these are the places chosen for sacrifices to God.
HERODOTUS
attributed, Day's Collacon
