“Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, and as vital to our lives as water and good bread. A civilization which destroys what little remains of the wild, the spare, the original, is cutting itself off from its origins and betraying the principle of civilization itself.”
- Edward Abbey

“We expect ends not only to justify means but to rectify them as well. Once we reach the desired end, we think we will turn back to purify and concentrate the means. Once the war that we are fighting for peace is won, then the generals will become saints, the burned children will proclaim in heaven that their suffering is well repaid, the forest and fields will turn green again. Once we have peace, we say, or abundance or justice or truth or comfort, everything will be all right. It is an old dream.
It is a vicious illusion. For the discipline of ends is no discipline at all. The end is preserved in the means; a desirable end may perish forever in the wrong means. Hope lives in the means, not the end. Art does not survive in its revelations, nor agriculture in its products, or craftsmanship in its artifacts, or civilization in its monuments, or faith in its relics.”
- Wendell Berry (A Continuous Harmony)

…There are no unsacred places;
there are only sacred places
and desecrated places…
