“I am Caspian Rogers and I am the captain of this ship," he ground out. "You are my hostage. Understand? You continue to exist because I allow it. You will not speak out of turn, you will not speak to _me_ at all, and if I hear you say that name ever again, I will slit your throat without a second thought. Am I clear?”

“People who live wholly urbanized lives, spending little time outdoors and rarely stopping to notice life that is not human-made, suffer emotionally and spiritually, cut off, as they are, from our souls' well-spring.

Unbounded forests, and blue snow-light falling on to drifts marked with the paw-prints of wolves. Frost-shattered summits and corries holding lochs of great depth. And this was the vision of a wild place that had stayed with me: somewhere boreal, wintry, vast, isolated, elemental, demanding of the traveller in its asperities. To reach a wild place was, for me, to step outside human history.”
