“Man always kills the thing he loves, and so we the pioneers have killed our wilderness. Some say we had to. Be that as it may, I am glad I shall never be young without wild country to be young in. Of what avail are forty freedoms without a blank spot on the map?”

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