“Spring work is going on with joyful enthusiasm.”
― John Muir, The Wilderness World of John Muir

“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life. Awakening from the stupefying effects of the vice of over-industry and the deadly apathy of luxury, they are trying as best they can to mix and enrich their own little ongoings with those of Nature, and to get rid of rust and disease.”
― John Muir, Our National Parks

“One day's exposure to mountains is better than a cartload of books.”
― John Muir

“Wherever there were glaciers, the world was in a constant state of creation.”
― John Muir, Wilderness Essays
