There are no vacant lots in nature.

I am happy to be a regional writer. My region is the American West, old Mexico, West Virginia, New York, Europe, Australia, the human heart, and the male groin.

The domination of nature leads to the domination of human nature.

Jesus don't walk on water no more; his feet leak.

Nature, like Maimonides said, is mainly a good place to throw beer cans on Sunday afternoons.

For myself I hold no preferences among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous. Bricks to all greenhouses! Black thumb and cutworm to the potted plant!

Somewhere in the depths of solitude, beyond wilderness and freedom, lay the trap of madness.
