“The children are innocent until proven guilty. For their sake, not ours, we must soldier on, muddling our way toward frugality, simplicity, liberty, community, until some kind of sane and rational balance is achieved between our ability to love and our cockeyed ambition to conquer and dominate everything in sight. No wonder the galaxies recede from us in every direction, fleeing at velocities that approach the speed of light. They are frightened. We humans are the Terror of the Universe.”

“You can't study the darkness by flooding it with light.”
Edward Abbey, The Best of Edward Abbey“To the question: Wilderness, who needs it? Doc would say: Because we like the taste of freedom, comrades. Because we like the smell of danger. But, thought Hayduke, what about the smell of fear, Dad?”
Edward Abbey, The Monkey Wrench Gang“One man alone can be pretty dumb sometimes, but for real bona fide stupidity, there ain't nothin' can beat teamwork.”
Edward Abbey“Love implies anger. The man who is angered by nothing cares about nothing.”
Edward Abbey“There is science, logic, reason; there is thought verified by experience. And then there is California.”
Edward Abbey“Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit.”
Edward Abbey“For myself I hold no preferences among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous. Bricks to all greenhouses! Black thumb and cutworm to the potted plant!”
Edward Abbey“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.”
Edward Abbey“Belief in the supernatural reflects a failure of the imagination.”
