Gretel Ehrlich
“It had occurred to me that comfort was only a disguise for discomfort; reference points, a disguise for what will always change.”
Gretel Ehrlich, The Solace of Open Spaces

“Face-to-face, the vast prairie sweeps belie your
instincts about such country. Their sublimity, I think, arises from their unfathomable boundaries and their self-confident grandness of scale, combined with an echoless, calm monotony of sensory affect.”
Dan Flores, Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History

J. Frank Dobie
“A few early farmers conserved the soil - George Washington was one - but they were stray oddities. A few pioneers had naturalistic interests, but any revelation of such interests branded the holder of them as being peculiar or even undemocratic. The
mass rule then, as now, was: Conform and be dull.”
J. Frank Dobie, The Voice of the Coyote

“Coyote power: surviving by one's intelligence and wits when others cannot; embracing existence in a mad, dancing, laughing, sympathetic expression of pure joy at evading the grimmest of fates; exulting in sheer aliveness; recognizing our shortcomings with rueful chagrin. These are the values Old Man America has embodied for thousands of years.”
Dan Flores, Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History

Ellen Meloy
“The geography of aridity is a prism for brightness, the eclectic partnerships of a fiercely articulated palette. Deserts share a kinship of color. You know you are home and the world is not so large.”
Ellen Meloy, The Anthropology of Turquoise: Reflections on Desert, Sea, Stone, and Sky
