Quotes by Edward Hoagland (?)

“In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog.”
― Edward Hoagland, Heart's Desire: The Best of Edward Hoagland : Essays from Twenty Years

“True solitude is a din of birdsong, seething leaves, whirling colors, or a clamor of tracks in the snow”

“We have in America "The Big Two-Hearted River" tradition: taking your wounds to the wilderness for a cure, a conversation, a rest, whatever. And as is in the Hemingway story, if your wounds aren't too bad, it works. But this isn't Michigan (or Faulkner's Big Woods in Mississippi for that matter). This is Alaska.”
― Edward Hoagland
