A GRAND COUNTY ALMANAC
Wild Quotes
"When I hear the stock market has fallen, I say, "Long live gravity! Long live stupidity, error and greed in the palaces of fantasy capitalism!" I think an economy should be based on thrift, on taking care of things, not on theft, usury, seduction, waste, and ruin. My purpose is a language that can make us whole, Though mortal, ignorant, and small. The world is whole beyond human knowing."
-Wendell Berry, agrarian philosopher
"Where can one find a healthier and purer delight than when on a brilliant winter day one binds one's ski to ones feet and takes one's way out into the forest?... Civilization is, as it were, washed clean from the mind and left far behind with the city atmosphere and city life; one's whole being is, so to say, wrapped in one's ski and surrounding nature"
Fridtjof Nansen, Norwewgian adventurer and Ski Hero, first to cross Greenland on skis.
"Of what avail are forty freedoms without a blank spot on the map?"
Aldo Leopold
"And they did preserve the land south as a wilderness, to get game.."
Book of Mormon, Ether 10:21
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The wind will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
-- John Muir
