Darwin matters because evolution matters. Evolution matters because science matters. Science matters because it is the preeminent story of our age, an epic saga about who we are, where we came from, and where we are going.
Wilderness needs no more defense, only more defenders.
Edward Abbey
The Utah deserts and plateaus and canyons are not a country of big returns, but a country of spiritual healing, incomparable for contemplation, meditation, solitude, quiet, awe, peace of mind and body. We were born of wilderness, and we respond to it more than we sometimes realize. We depend upon it increasingly for relief from the termite life we have created. Factories, power plants, resorts, we can make anywhere. Wilderness, once we have given it up, is beyond our reconstruction.
-- Wallace Stegner, Wilderness at the Edge, 1990
It's not enough to understand the natural world, the point is to defend and preserve it.
Edward Abbey
If you know wilderness in the way you know love, you would be unwilling to let it go. We are talking about the body of the beloved, not real estate. Terry Tempest Williams
You must search for the loveliness of America. It is not obvious, it is scattered;but when you find it, it touches you. And binds you to it like a great secret oath taken in silence.
Struthers Burt 1934
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do that by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. Mark Twain
