There are two things that interest me: the relation of people to each other, and the relation of people to land.

Conservation viewed in its entirety, is the slow and laborious unfolding of a new relationship between people and land.

To look into the eyes of a wolf is to see your own soul - hope you like what you see.

Recreational development is a job not of building roads into lovely country, but of building receptivity into the still unlovely human mind.

The modern dogma is comfort at any cost.

My dog does not care where heat comes from, but he cares that it comes, and soon. Indeed he considers my ability to make it come as something magical, for when I rise in the coal black pre-dawn and kneel by the hearth to make a fire, he pushes himself blandly between me and the kindling splits I have laid in the ashes, and I must touch a match to them by poking it between his legs. Such faith , I suppose, is the kind that moves mountains.

What avail are forty freedoms without a blank spot on the map?
