EDWARD ABBEY (1927-1989)

MAY ALL YOUR TRAILS BE CROOKED,
WINDING, LONESOME, DANGEROUS,
LEADING TO THE MOST AMAZING VIEW,
WHERE SOMETHING STRANGE AND MORE
BEAUTIFUL AND MORE FULL OF WONDER THAN
YOUR DEEPEST DREAMS WAITS FOR YOU.

RACHEL CARSON (1907-1964)

MOST OF US WALK UNSEEING THROUGH THE WORLD, UNAWARE ALIKE OF ITS BEAUTIES, ITS WONDERS, AND THE STRANGE AND SOMETIMES TERRIBLE INTENSITY OF THE LIVES THAT ARE BEING LIVED ABOUT US.

ALDO LEOPOLD (1887-1948)

THERE ARE TWO SPIRITUAL DANGERS IN NOT OWNING A FARM. ONE IS THE DANGER OF SUPPOSING THAT BREAKFAST COMES FROM THE GROCERY, AND THE OTHER THAT HEAT COMES FROM THE FURNACE.
