“Nothing truly wild is unclean.”

“Hidden in the glorious wildness like unmined gold.”

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

“There is a love of wild nature in everybody, an ancient mother-love showing itself whether recognized or no, and however covered by cares and duties”

“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity”

“As long as I live, I'll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing. I'll interpret the rocks, learn the language of flood, storm, and the avalanche. I'll acquaint myself with the glaciers and wild gardens, and get as near the heart of the world as I can".”

“One should go to the woods for safety, if for nothing else.”
