Alain Robert

All these buildings are like mountains I would like to climb, but I am forbidden.

To me, climbing is like eating or drinking. I have to do it; it's part of my life.

We set ourselves limits, but we are all strong enough to aim higher, to achieve our goals. All we have to do is find such strength within ourselves. Know how to develop it.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
