“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”
“Going to the mountains is going home.”
“The mountains are calling and I must go.”
“Going to the woods is going home.”
“We are now in the mountains and they are in us, kindling enthusiasm, making every nerve quiver, filling every pore and cell of us.”
“I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.”
“This time it is real — all must die, and where could mountaineer find a more glorious death!”
