Text Quotes
Wander a whole summer if you can. Time will not be taken from the sum of life. Instead of shortening, it will definitely lengthen it and make you truly immortal (John Muir Quotes)
Nature is ever at work building and pulling down, creating and destroying, keeping everything whirling and flowing, allowing no rest but in rhythmical motion, chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another (John Muir Quotes)
Nature is always lovely, invincible, glad, whatever is done and suffered by her creatures. All scars she heals, whether in rocks or water or sky or hearts (John Muir Quotes)
When I discovered a new plant, I sat down beside it for a minute or a day, to make its acquaintance and hear what it had to tell... I asked the boulders I met, whence they came and whither they were going (John Muir Quotes)
My meals were easily made, for they were all alike and simple, only a cupful of tea and bread (John Muir Quotes)
The tide of visitors will float slowly about the bottom of the valley as harmless scum collecting in hotel and saloon eddies, leaving the rocks and falls eloquent as ever (John Muir Quotes)
Indians walk softly and hurt the landscape hardly more than the birds and squirrels, and their brush and bark huts last hardly longer than those of wood rats, while their more enduring monuments, excepting those wrought on the forests by the fires they made to improve their hunting grounds, vanish in a few centuries (John Muir Quotes)
Walk away quietly in any direction and taste the freedom of the mountaineer. Camp out among the grasses and gentians of glacial meadows, in craggy garden nooks full of nature’s darlings (John Muir Quotes)
Come to the woods, for here is rest. There is no repose like that of the green deep woods (John Muir Quotes)
I have never yet happened upon a trace of evidence... to show that any one animal was ever made for another as much as it was made for itself (John Muir Quotes)
Beside the grand history of the glaciers and their own, the mountain streams sing the history of every avalanche or earthquake and of snow, all easily recognized by the human ear, and every word evoked by the falling leaf and drinking deer, beside a thousand other facts so small and spoken by the stream in so low a voice the human ear cannot hear them (John Muir Quotes)
The blessings of one mountain day, whatever his fate, long life, short life, stormy or calm, he is rich forever (John Muir Quotes)
The battle for conservation will go on endlessly. It is part of the universal battle between right and wrong (John Muir Quotes)
To myself, mountains are the beginning and the end of all natural scenery; in them, and in the forms of inferior landscape that lead to them, my affections are wholly bound up (John Muir Quotes)
Who reports the works and ways of the clouds, those wondrous creations coming into being every day like freshly upheaved mountains? (John Muir Quotes)
Winds are advertisements of all they touch, however much or little we may be able to read them; telling their wanderings even by their scents alone (John Muir Quotes)
No dogma taught by the present civilization seems to form so insuperable an obstacle in a way of a right understanding of the relations which culture sustains as to wilderness, as that which declares that the world was made especially for the uses of men. Every animal, plant, and crystal controverts it in the plainest terms. Yet it is taught from century to century as something ever new and precious, and in the resulting darkness the enormous conceit is allowed to go unchallenged (John Muir Quotes)
Few are altogether deaf to the preaching of pine trees. Their sermons on the mountains go to our hearts (John Muir Quotes)
Nature as a poet, an enthusiastic workingman, becomes more and more visible the farther and higher we go; for the mountains are fountains – beginning places, however related to sources beyond mortal ken (John Muir Quotes)
Wilderness is a necessity... They will see what I meant in time. There must be places for human beings to satisfy their souls. Food and drink is not all. There is the spiritual. In some it is only a germ, of course, but the germ will grow (John Muir Quotes)
When you tug at a single thing in the universe, you’ll find its attached to everything else (John Muir Quotes)
Large flocks of butterflies, all kinds of happy insects, seem to be in a perfect fever of joy and sportive gladness (John Muir Quotes)
I have a low opinion of books: they are piles of stones set up to show coming travelers where other minds have been, or at best signal smokes to call attention (John Muir Quotes)
I wish I knew where I was going. Doomed to be carried of the spirit into the wilderness, I suppose. I wish I could be more moderate in my desires, but I cannot, and so there is no rest (John Muir Quotes)
Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on seas and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls (John Muir Quotes)
To ask me whether I could endure to live without friends is absurd. It is easy enough to live out of material sight of friends, but to live without human love is impossible (John Muir Quotes)
Bread without butter or coffee without milk is an awful calamity, as if everything before being put in our mouth must first be held under a cow (John Muir Quotes)
Every atom in creation may be said to be acquainted with and married to every other, but with universal union there is a division sufficient in degree for the purposes of the most intense individuality (John Muir Quotes)
The moon is looking down into the canyon, and how marvelously the great rocks kindle to her light! Every dome, and brow, and swelling boss touched by her white rays, glows as if lighted with snow (John Muir Quotes)
Quench love, and what is left of a man’s life but the folding of a few jointed bones and square inches of flesh? Who would call that life? (John Muir Quotes)
