Additional quotes by Edward Abbey

A man could be a lover and defender of the wilderness without ever in his lifetime leaving the boundaries of asphalt, powerlines, and right-angled surfaces. We need wilderness whether or not we ever set foot in it. We need a refuge even though we may never need to go there.

Nothing could be older than the daily news, nothing deader than yesterday's newspaper.

When the situation is hopeless, there's nothing to worry about.

Yes sir, yes madam, I entreat you, get out of those motorized wheelchairs, get off your foam rubber backsides, stand up straight like men! like women… - Edward Abbey
