“The mountains are calling and I must go.”
― John Muir

“Only the mountain has lived long enough to listen objectively to the howl of the wolf.”
― Aldo Leopold

“What sort of person," said Salzella patiently, "sits down and writes a maniacal laugh? And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five? A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head. Opera can do that to a man.”

“Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets, but humbler folk may circumvent this restriction if they know how.

― Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac and Sketches Here and There
