“Life is paradise, and we are all in paradise, but we refuse to see it.”
“The true paradises are the paradises that we have lost.”
“Refuse to seek for the road to paradise, because every beautiful place is already a paradise!”
“Life... is a paradise to what we fear of death.”
“Like Adam, we have all lost Paradise; and yet we carry Paradise around inside of us in the form of a longing for, almost a memory of, a blessedness that is no more, or the dream of a blessedness that may someday be again.”
“The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only paradise we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need, if only we had the eyes to see.”
