I grew up down in the hills of Virginia. I can be in Kentucky in 20 minutes, Tennessee in 20 minutes or in the state of West Virginia in 20 minutes.

Most people has a hard life down that way. — Ralph Stanley

But the second part of the equation is what are you going to do about it. A lot of times I'm completely wrong, but all you do is back up and start over. — Bill Russell

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.

By being utterly useless in the calculations of the culture at large I become useful, at last, to myself. — Philip Connors

"Nope," the old mountaineer replied patiently. "Not yet." — James Keller
