Notable quotes

— Edward Abbey, "Down the River", Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness, 1968, p. 190.
“I tried to break the spell — the heavy, mute spell of the wilderness — that seemed to draw him to its pitiless breast by the awakening of forgotten and brutal instincts, by the memory of gratified and monstrous passions.”
— Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness, 1899.
“Many of the attributes most distinctive of America and Americans are the impress of the wilderness. … Shall we now exterminate this thing that made us Americans?”
