“Every hidden cell is throbbing with music and life, every fiber thrilling like harp strings.”

“We are now in the mountains and they are in us, kindling enthusiasm, making every nerve quiver, filling every pore and cell of us.”

“Hidden in the glorious wildness like unmined gold.”

“Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world.”

“In every walk with Nature one receives far more than he seeks.”

“There is not a fragment in all nature, for every relative fragment of one thing is a full harmonious unit in itself.”

“This is Nature's own reservation, and every lover of wildness will rejoice with me that by kindly frost it is so well defended.”
