Wilderness Is The Very Stuff America Is

That The Situation Appears Hopeless Should Not Prevent Us From Doing Our Best.

Only The Most Uncritical Minds Are Free From Doubt.

It Is Inconceivable To Me That An Ethical Relation To Land Can Exist Without Love, Respect, And Admiration For Land, And A High Regard For Its Value. By Value, I Of Course Mean Something Far Broader Than Mere Economic Value; I Mean Value In The Philosophical Sense.

If We Lose Our Wilderness, We Have Nothing Left, In My Opinion, Worth Fighting For; Or To Be More Exact, A Completely Industrialized United States Is Of No Consequence To Me.

Too Much Safety Seems To Yield Only Danger In The Long Run.
