Walk away quietly in any direction and taste the freedom of the mountaineer.

It may not be easy, life isn't easy, but dreams keep you alive.

I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature’s loveliness.

One may as well dam for water tanks the people's cathedrals and churches, for no holier temple has ever been consecrated by the heart of man.

When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.

If I should be fated to walk no more with Nature, be compelled to leave all I most devoutly love in the wilderness, return to civilization and be twisted into the characterless cable of society, then these sweet, free, cumberless rovings will be as chinks and slits on life's horizon, through which I may obtain glimpses of the treasures that lie in God's wilds beyond my reach.

The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.
