"When it is dark enough, you can see the stars."
-Persian Proverb
"With all respect, Sahib, you have little to teach us in strength and toughness.
And we don't envy you, your restless spirits. Perhaps we are happier than you?
But we would like our children to go to school. Of all the things you have, learning is
the one we most desire for our children."
-Urkein Sherpa to Sir Edmund Hillary, Schoolhouse in the Clouds
