Everything is born and dies in Aizkorri.
Euskal Herriko sagardoa is never as good as when poured from the top of the refuge.
The sun burns, the moon shines.
I only find myself when I am lost.
Dead people don’t need insurance.
Winter isn’t coming—we are coming to it.
There is no path because my destiny is to draw a new one.
The best pintxos grow in Artzanburu and get stuck in my calves.
Woods in autumn, mountains in winter, ocean in spring, caves for the rest of the year.
Gabachos or guiris, yes. Domingueros, no.
I don’t fear the dark, nor the cold, nor death—but I do fear the tourist information center.
Memories are made from the unexpected.
Reasonable wishes and maps kill the unexpected.
The sleeping bag is a cradle fed by the Milky Way; the duvet, a dreamless tomb.
Hasta que los huecos no se conviertan en agujeros, no se llama al helicóptero.
