Belief in God? An afterlife? I believe in rock: this apodictic rock beneath my feet.

Among politicians and businessmen, *Pragmatism* is the current term for 'To hell with our children.'

Why I oppose the nuclear-arms race: I prefer the human race.

A world without huge regions of total wilderness would be a cage; a world without lions and tigers and vultures and snakes and elk and bison would be - will be - a human zoo. A high-tech slum.

A journey into the wilderness is the freest, cheapest, most nonprivileged of pleasures. Anyone with two legs and the price of a pair of army surplus combat boots may enter.

To be everywhere at once is to be nowhere forever, if you ask me.

A society that feels itself too poor to afford the preservation of wilderness is not worthy of the name civilization.
