Frank Smythe Quotes:
Ocupation: Mountaineer
Life: July 6, 1900 - June 27, 1949
Birthday: July 6
Death: June 27
There is something about the Himalayas not possessed by the Alps, something unseen and unknown, a charm that pervades every hour spent among them, a mystery intriguing and disturbing. Confronted by them, a man loses his grasp of ordinary things, perceiving himself as immortal, an entity capable of outdistancing all changes, all decay, all life, all death.
