Text Quotes
The oceans are the planet’s last great living wilderness, man’s only remaining frontier on earth, and perhaps his last chance to produce himself a rational species  (Wilderness Quotes) An undertaking of great magnitude and importance, the successful accomplishment of which, in so comparatively short a period, notwithstanding the unheard of unestimable difficulties and impediments which had to be encountered and surmounted, in an almost unexplored and uninhabited wilderness... evinced on your part a moral courage and an undaunted spirit and combination of science and management equally exciting our admiration and deserving our praise  (Wilderness Quotes) We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists and their projects. We must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam constructions, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return to wilderness millions of acres of previously settled land  (Wilderness Quotes) What little wilderness remains displays the patterns we must return to, if our species and as many others as now remain are to persist here a while. Ideally this would call for a broad cultural rapprochment with the wild, a long overdue armistice in civilization’s war upon it  (Wilderness Quotes) My interest in photography did not begin with books or mentors, or with any burning desire to see the world through a camera. It evolved from an intense devotion to mountains and wilderness that eventually shaped all the parts of my life and brought them together  (Wilderness Quotes) The wilderness and the idea of wilderness is one of the permanent homes of the human spirit  (Wilderness Quotes) I try to hold both history and wilderness in mind, that my poems may the true measure of things and stand against the unbalance and ignorance of our times  (Wilderness Quotes) The wilderness that has come to us out of the eternity of the past, we have the boldness to project into the eternity of the future  (Wilderness Quotes) A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain  (Wilderness Quotes) My three main goals would be to reduce human population to about 100 million worldwide, destroy the industrial infrastructure and see wilderness, with it’s full complement of species, returning throughout the world  (Wilderness Quotes) Eventually we realize that not knowing what to do is just as real and just as useful as knowing what to do. Not knowing stops us from taking false directions. Not knowing what to do, we start to pay real attention. Just as people lost in the wilderness, on a cliff face or in a blizzard pay attention with a kind of acuity that they would not have if they thought they knew where they were. Why? Because for those who are really lost, their life depends on paying real attention. If you think you know where you are, you stop looking  (Wilderness Quotes) I would never go to jail to protect animals or plants or wilderness. For me, it’s about the people  (Wilderness Quotes) It is one of the blessings of wilderness life that it shows us how few things we need in order to be perfectly happy  (Wilderness Quotes) We need some contact with the things we sprang from. We need nature at least as a part of the context of our lives. Without cities we cannot be civilized. Without nature, without wilderness even, we are compelled to renounce an important part of our heritage  (Wilderness Quotes) Civilization no longer needs to open up wilderness; it needs wilderness to help open up the still largely unexplored human mind  (Wilderness Quotes) It ain’t wilderness unless there’s a critter out there that can kill you and eat you  (Wilderness Quotes) There are for starters, grandeur and silence, pure water and clean air. There is also the gift of distance... the chance to stand away from relationships and daily ritual... and the gift of energy. Wilderness infuses us with its own special brand of energy  (Wilderness Quotes) In a rock garden we foster a little patch of the wilderness that stands to us for freedom  (Wilderness Quotes) In building a path through the self to the far shore of awareness, we have to carefully pick our way through our own wilderness. If we can put our minds into a place of surrender, we will have an easier time feeling the contours of the land. We do not have to break our way through as much as we have to find our way around the major obstacles. We do not have to cure every neurosis, we just have to learn how not to be caught by them  (Wilderness Quotes) Though the word beautification makes the concept sound merely cosmetic, it involves much more: clean water, clean air, clean roadsides, safe waste disposal and preservation of valued old landmarks as well as great parks and wilderness areas. To me … beautification means our total concern for the physical and human quality we pass on to our children and the future  (Wilderness Quotes) Africa is less a wilderness than a repository of primary and fundamental values, and less a barbaric land than an unfamiliar voice  (Wilderness Quotes) To this day, I enjoy nature, the luxury of undisturbed wilderness, forests, mountains, lakes, rivers and deserts and their wildlife. But I also know that the greatest danger to their perpetuity is the pressure of human population  (Wilderness Quotes) You cannot seriously address the destruction of wilderness without addressing the society that is destroying it  (Wilderness Quotes) There is nothing more energizing than inhaling the tang of wilderness, loamy after rain, pungent with the richness of earth shuddering with life, or taking in the brisk dry cleanness of winter  (Wilderness Quotes) Wilderness itself is the basis of all our civilization. I wonder if we have enough reverence for life to concede to wilderness the right to live on?  (Wilderness Quotes) There is no wilderness. There is only our inability to fill the emptiness in which we live  (Wilderness Quotes) Getting people into the wilderness for a transcendent experience empowers people for years, if not for their entire lives  (Wilderness Quotes) There is a place on earth that is a vast desolate wilderness, a place populated by shadows of the dead in their multitudes, a place where the living are dead, where only death, hate and pain exist  (Wilderness Quotes) If we are to elevate the game of chess to a popular sport, grandmasters must become gladiators, otherwise the game will languish on the periphery, a voice crying in the wilderness, condemned to live and die on a cold arctic shore  (Wilderness Quotes) I have not tired of the wilderness; rather I enjoy its beauty and the vagrant life I lead, more keenly all the time. I prefer the saddle to the street car and the star sprinkled sky to a roof, the obscure and difficult trail, leading into the unknown, to any paved highway, and the deep peace of the wild to the discontent bred by cities  (Wilderness Quotes)
