For some reason or another that quote got me unsuccessfully digging about in my notebooks for something along the lines of "insomnia - the disease of the incurably alive" but I couldn't find it.
But found something more appropriate (i.e. funny)..why I wrote this all down I can't remember, but obviously was letting out a bit of built up passive aggressive tension after three days of belaying...
XXXX on the Penetrator
"Yeh I see what you mean it is easier that way"
"That time I almost had it"
"Too much cycling - loss of flexibility"
"Its just a boulder problem on top rope"
"Oh damn I missed the fucher again"
"I got it that time but I fell off"
"I hate doing moves over and over again - as much chance of doing it the first time as the 60th"
"Oh yeh I'll do it this afternoon"
"Can I have another belay - see if I can be bothered doing this"
---------------------
Next day
"Ahh I'm getting it but ......"
"xxxx did you do ....."
"I'm impressed you guys had the patience to stick this out"
"I know I can do the rest"
"This route is not inspiring me the least"
"Maybe I'll try the dyno once more - you can't go wrong:"
"Ahh this is stupid"
"I can feel my finger getting more and more stressed"
Sorry for the OT...but could any of you literary devils or hero's divine the source of this quote which seems strangely appropriate for us chockies:
Much of human behaviour can be seen as actions designed to manipulate the responses of others to confirm a desired identity or to validate a particular view of reality.
it appears in a notebook between a quote from goethe, a comic strip cutting and another qoute from voltaire which for some reason also seems appropriate:
We are unhappy because of what we lack, and never happy by dint of what we have. To sleep etc. is not happiness; not to sleep is unbearable.

The ironic thing is that it was her sobriety that killed her.
