Take only memories; leave nothing but footprints
Chief Seattle, Duwamish Tribe

Aldo Leopold
Wilderness areas are first of all a series of sanctuaries for the primitive arts of wilderness travel, especially canoeing and packing. I suppose some will wish to debate whether it is important to keep these primitive arts alive. I shall not debate it. Either you know it in your bones, or you are very, very old.
Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac and Sketches Here and There
