Quote

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.

Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit.

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.

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

Sometimes you have to go through the wilderness before you get to the Promised Land.

No one should be able to enter a wilderness by mechanical means.

Wilderness is not defined by the absence of certain activities, but rather by the presence of certain unique and invaluable characteristics.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

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

As a philosopher, I'm not obliged to explore every unknown wilderness.
