* “We knocked the bastard off” – announcing he and Tensing had reached Everest’s summit.

.

* “I like to think that I am a very ordinary New Zealander, not terribly bright perhaps but determined and practical in what I do” – at the 50th anniversary

.

* Nepalese, he said, did not ask for poverty while New Zealanders lived in affluence: “The fact that we do is a blessing, and with it comes responsibilities.”

.

* On becoming a knight: “It was a tremendous honour, of course, but I had never really approved of titles and couldn’t really imagine myself possessing one”

.

* “In some ways I believe I epitomise the average New Zealander. I have modest abilities, I combine these with a good deal of determination and I rather like to succeed.”

.

* To an Indian reporter who asked him if he knew he was seen by many as a god: “Well I know I’m not, so it doesn’t bother me.”

atop Everest
.

* From Hillary’s diary, published in his ‘Nothing Venture, Nothing Win’:

“I continued on, cutting steadily and surmounting bump after bump and cornice after cornice looking eagerly for the summit. It seemed impossible to pick it and time was running out. Finally I cut around the back of an extra large hump and then on a tight rope from Tensing I climbed up a gentle snow ridge to its top. Immediately it was obvious that we had reached our objective. It was 11.30a.m. and we were on top of Everest!”

.

He describes the landscape below them and continues: “Tensing and I shook hands and then Tensing threw his arms around my shoulders. It was a great moment! I took off my oxygen and for ten minutes I photographed Tensing holding flags, the various ridges of Everest and the general view. I left a crucifix on top for John Hunt and Tensing made a little hole in the snow and put in it some food offerings – lollies, biscuits and chocolate. We ate Mint Cake and then put our oxygen back on. I was a little worried by the time factor so after 15 minutes on top we turned back at 11.45.”
