Original thought is the ore of the mind; language is but the accidental stamp and coinage by which it is put into circulation.

Where I had slid down with ease, I had to strain and raise myself by sheer muscle. I wore my left glove to tatters and threw it away to put the right one on my left hand. I thought many times I could not make another move; I thought my lungs would burst, but I kept on.
