More From Edward Abbey
- "Society is like a stew. If you don’t stir it up every once in a while then a layer of scum floats to the top."
- "That which today calls itself science gives us more and more information, and indigestible glut of information, and less and less understanding."
- "Say what you like about my bloody murderous government,’ I says, ‘but don’t insult me poor bleedin’ country."

- "Although it’s difficult, if not impossible, to put a dollar value on the numerous services nature provides, leaving them out of economic calculations means they are often ignored."― David Suzuki
- "My art is an attempt to reach beyond the surface appearance. I want to see growth in wood, time in stone, nature in a city, and I do not mean its parks but a deeper understanding that a city is nature too-the ground upon which it is built, the stone with which it is made."― Andy Goldsworthy
- "Fear not, we are of the nature of the lion, and cannot descend to the destruction of mice and such small beasts."― Elizabeth I
