Paul Goble > Quotes

“We did not think of the great open plains, the beautiful rolling hills and the winding streams with tangled growth, as 'wild'. Only to the white man was nature a 'wilderness' and only to him was the land 'infested' with 'wild' animals and 'savage' people. To us it was home. Earth was beautiful and we were surrounded with the blessings of the Great Mystery." - Chief Standing River of the Lakota”
― Paul Goble, Dream Wolf

“Anything that has a birth, must also have a death.
The spirit is not born with a person,
but is given at the time of birth,
Therefore, because the spirit has no birth,
it will never die.”
― Paul Goble, Beyond the Ridge

“This land is beautiful.
O Sun,
Now for the last time,
Come greet me again.”
― Paul Goble, Beyond the Ridge
