A temporary substitute for war; for nationalism; identification with something bigger than the self.
Edward AbbeyBe loyal to what you love, be true to the earth, fight your enemies with passion and laughter.
Edward AbbeyReply to Plato: I seen horses I seen cows I haint never yet seen horsiness nor that there bovinity neither.
