Edward Abbey on Wilderness
← Back to Edward Abbey Profile
“The idea of wilderness needs no defense. It only needs more defenders.”
“Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, and as vital to our lives as water and good bread.”
“The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need — if only we had the eyes to see.”
