Creative Quotations from . . .

Edmund Hillary
(1919-2008) born on Jul 20

New Zealander "mountaineer, explorer". "He was the first, with Tenzing Norkay, to reach the summit of Mt. Everest, 1953."

"You don't have to be a fantastic hero to do certain things -- to compete. You can be just an ordinary chap, sufficiently motivated to reach challenging goals."

"As far as I knew, he had never taken a photograph before, and the summit of Everest was hardly the place to show him how."
