Of course!

23) You never conquer a mountain. You stand on the summit a few moments;then the wind blows your footprints away. --Arlene Blum (born 1945), biophysical chemist, mountaineer, author, and co-founder of the Green Science Policy Institute (http://greensciencepolicy.org/our-mission-and-goals/). In 1978, she led the first all-woman team up Annapurna I, a 26,200 ft mountain in the Himalayas, in what was the first successful American attempt. She also was deputy leader on the first all-women team climbing Mt. McKinley (20,320 feet) and was the first American woman to try to climb Mt. Everest (29,029 feet).

Is that the only quotation you want? You can choose up to three.
