"I hate this. Nature is cruel... Life is full of pain. I don't want my daughters to ever really know this or understand it, but they must. It is the way things are. To sugarcoat reality is to lie, and I don't lie to my children."
–Patricia Ellis Herr, UP: A Mother and Daughter's Peakbagging Adventure
Patricia Ellis Herr: "What matters is that..."
"What matters is that, for the rest of their lives, both my daughters understand that to reach a goal, they must put one foot in front of the other and persevere. They know that they must expect and prepare for challenges. They know to ignore the naysayers and, instead, to have faith in themselves and their abilities to learn what they need to know. Above all else, they know that little does not mean weak, that girls are indeed strong, and that practically anything is possible."
