As one who has often felt this need, and who has found refreshment in wild places, I attest to the recreational value of wilderness.

If you spend time alone in the wilderness, you get very attuned to living things.

The wilderness is healing, a therapy for the soul.

Wilderness is harder and harder to find these days on this beautiful planet, and we're abusing our planet to the point of almost no return.

When it comes to wilderness animals we have to make an effort to preserve what areas we can that they can be themselves in. Its come to a point though, clearly, where some species have to be cared for by humans if they are not going to disappear altogether.

I think true wilderness can still be found, but it's hard to reach and dangerous when you get there, which is probably why it still exists.

Luxury is anything you don't need, right? I mean, you need food, water, clothing, shelter... but good wine, good food, beautiful interiors, nice clothes; those aren't necessities, they are luxuries - it's all luxury.
