Quotes About Height

How high did I get?" I wanted to know.
~ Douglas Rees

Though Brandon claimed to be six-six, because that was all the height most people could fathom, he was actually a quarter inch over six-eight-and not a spindly six-eight either, but 232 pounds of meat and bone stacked vertically beneath a lop-sided smile and a defiant wedge of hair that gave him the appearance of an unfinished sculpture. His size always triggered unreasonable expectations.
~ Jim Lynch

~ Fernando Pessoa
Wise is the man who has the potential for height in his muscles but who renounces climbing in his consciousness. By virtue of his gaze, he has all hills, and by virtue of his position, all valleys. The sun that gilds the summits will gild them more for him than for someone at the top who must endure the bright light; and the palace perched high in the woods will be more beautiful for those who see it from the valley than for those who, imprisoned in its rooms, forget it.
~ Fernando Pessoa
Porque soy del tamaño de lo que veo y no del tamaño de mi altura. Frases como estas, que parecen crecer sin voluntad que las hubiera dicho, me limpian de toda la metafísica que añado a mi vida. Después de leerlas, me acerco a mi ventana sobre la calle estrecha, observo el vasto cielo y los muchos astros y soy libre con un esplendor alado cuya vibración me estremece el cuerpo entero.
~ Fernando Pessoa

Every species of tree-squirrel seems to be capable of a sort of rudimentary flying, at least of making itself into a parachute, so as to ease or break a fall or a leap from a great height.
~ John Burroughs
