A poet is a man who puts up a ladder to a star and climbs it while playing a violin.
Edmond de Goncourt
Constantly risking absurdity and death whenever he performs above the heads of his audience, the poet, like an acrobat, climbs on rhyme to a high wire of his own making.
Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Creative people who can't help but explore other mental territories are at greater risk, just as someone who climbs a mountain is more at risk than someone who just walks along a village lane.
R. D. Laing

Nicolaus Copernicus
He that climbs the tall tree has won right to the fruit, He that leaps the wide gulf should prevail in his suit.
Walter Scott

Ruth Park

Edmund Hillary
O sweet, delusive Noon, Which the morning climbs to find, O moment sped too soon, And morning left behind.

The higher one climbs on the spiritual ladder, the more they will grant others their own freedom, and give less interference to another's state of consciousness.
Paul Twitchell
The higher one climbs the lonelier one is.
Mary Barnett Gilson
The wish to hurt, the momentary intoxication with pain, is the loophole through which the pervert climbs into the minds of ordinary men.
