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 paradise we shall ever know, the only paradise we shall ever need – if only we had eyes to see… No, wilderness is not a luxury, but a necessity to the human spirit, as vital to our lives as water and bread. – Edward Abbey
