Wildness is not just the "preservation of the world," it is the world

Wildness It is perennially within us, dormant as a hard-shelled seed, awaiting the fire or flood that awakes it again.

To work on behalf of the wild is to restore culture

In the 40,000 year time scale we're all the same people. We're all equally primitive, give or take two or three thousand years here or a hundred years there.

True affluence is to not need anything.

The lessons we learn from the wild become the etiquette of freedom.

Nature is orderly. That which appears to be chaotic in nature is only a more complex kind of order.
