Famous quote spoken by mountaineer George Mallory in response to the question: "Why do you want to climb Mt. Everest?" It symbolizes the basic human desire to strive for the unachieved, whatever the legitimate purpose is. Mallory would go on to die on Everest, forever to be remembered as a man unafraid of death, frostbite, or the Yeti.
