The last in our 3-part series of posts about Mountains in literature, the following list features some of our favorite mountain-themed quotes from literature paired with unique mountain-inspired art and decor pieces from the Wildlife Wonders "Cabin and Lodge" collection. (See our first two posts on Mountains in Literature for more!)
“The secret of the mountain is that the mountains simply exist, as I do myself: the mountains exist simply, which I do not. The mountains have no "meaning," they are meaning; the mountains are."
- Peter Mattheissen
“I like the mountains because they make me feel small. They help me sort out what's important in life.”
- Mark Obmascik
“The greatest gift of life on the mountain is time. Time to think or not think, read or not read, scribble or not scribble -- to sleep and cook and walk in the woods, to sit and stare at the shapes of the hills."
- Philip Connors
“Although I deeply love oceans, deserts and other wild landscapes, it is only mountains that beckon me with that sort of painful magnetic pull to walk deeper and deeper into their beauty. They keep me continuously wanting to know more, feel more, see more.” ―Victoria Erickson
