Wilderness

«Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit»
Author: Edward Abbey (Writer) | About: Wilderness | Keywords: luxury, wilderness, wildernesses
«My ancestors wandered lost in the wilderness for forty years because even in biblical times, men would not stop to ask for directions»
«I would rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth.»
«All good things are wild, and free.»
«I have lately been surveying the Walden woods so extensively and minutely that I now see it mapped in my mind?s eye - as, indeed, on paper - as so many men?s wood-lots, and am aware when I walk there that I am at a given moment passing from such a one?s wood-lot to such another?s. I fear this particular dry knowledge may affect my imagination and fancy, that it will not be easy to see so much wildness and native vigor there as formerly.»
«Born to be wild - live to outgrow it.»
