Quote of the Week ... About Chamonix



"In Chamonix men achieve great things, and the Nietzschean ethic of surpassing one's previous best efforts plays out every day. As with all geographic sites of power, young people make the pilgrimage to measure themselves against the place and it's people. Some commune with the mountain god and find their true selves among the ice and the stone. Others are slapped down and end up in the ground."
