The mountain passes kill care, save us from deadly apathy, and set us free.


"Fear not to try the mountain-passes.  They will kill care, save you from deadly apathy, set you free, and call forth every faculty into vigorous, enthusiastic action.  Even the sick should try these so-called dangerous passes, because for every unfortunate [person] they kill, they cure a thousand."
