The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyong reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only paradise we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need, if only we had the eyes to see.

It seems clear at last that our love for the natural world—Nature—is the only means by which we can requite God’s obvious love for it.

This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and animals. Stand up for the stupid and crazy. Take your hat off to no man.

There is beauty, heartbreaking beauty, everywhere.

My loyalties will not be bound by national borders, or confined in time by one nation's history, or limited in the spiritual dimension by one language and culture. I pledge my allegiance to the damned human race, and my everlasting love to the green hills of Earth, and my intimations of glory to the singing stars, to the very end of space and time.

In the first place, you can't see anything from a car.
