Society Speaks And All Men Listen, Mountains

Listen To Them! How Wholly Infused With God Is This One Big Word Of Love That We Call The World!

John Muir, Earth-planet, Universe.

Thus Godlike Sympathy Grows And Thrives And Spreads Far Beyond The Teachings Of Churches And Schools, Where Too Often The Mean, Blinding, Loveless Doctrine Is Taught That Animals Have No Rights That We Are Bound To Respect, And Were Only Made For Man, To Be Petted, Spoiled, Slaughtered Or Enslaved.

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.

Man And Other Civilized Animals Are The Only Creatures That Ever Become Dirty.
