Alexander Huber - Quotation

Quotation

Reinhold Messner about Huber:

Alexander Huber, currently the best of all rock climbers, has free soloed the Zinnen-Direttissima, with only a chalk bag and rock shoes on his feet. 500 meters of absolute exposure, without protection and possibility of return, a brilliant deed, which can hardly be surpassed in elegance. With this, Huber shows that he isn't a gambler, but a great master. Safety always only comes from skill.

Famous quotes containing the word quotation:

    Every quotation contributes something to the stability or enlargement of the language.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    It is an old error of man to forget to put quotation marks where he borrows from a woman’s brain!
    Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)

    The habit some writers indulge in of perpetual quotation is one it behoves lovers of good literature to protest against, for it is an insidious habit which in the end must cloud the stream of thought, or at least check spontaneity. If it be true that le style c’est l’homme, what is likely to happen if l’homme is for ever eking out his own personality with that of some other individual?
    Dame Ethel Smyth (1858–1944)
