John Muir
  • The gross heathenism of civilization has generally destroyed nature, and poetry, and all that is spiritual.

  • There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation's braggart lords.

  • The power of imagination makes us infinite.

  • Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.

  • To the lover of wilderness, Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world.
