I am at home again in the mountains. There I sit for many hours amid their white virginity and find myself again.Joseph Goebbels
How can I give you up? You're the mountains and the lake, the memories — you have them all. When you're with me, I'm at home, wherever I am.
Lois McMaster Bujold
“Mountains, Bruce, mountains,” the manager said.
“Mountains, Bruce, mountains,” Bruce said and gazed.
“Echolalia, Bruce, echolalia,” the manager said. “Echolalia, Bruce—”

The Vermont mountains stretch extended straight;
New Hampshire mountains curl up in a coil.Robert Frost
Rubbish! ... No man fights for dirt and grass. No, nor mountains. Those mountains were here before the fall and they will be here when the world topples again.
