quotations about mountains
As for me, mountains are like bridges that connect the land we live on with heaven, a place where our souls are close to God. Standing on a hilltop, I always feel myself an integral part of the universe.

Mountains Forever
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
