• it will be objected that a constantly increasing population makes resistance and conservation a hopeless battle. this is true. unless a way is found to stabilize the nation's population, the parks can not be saved. or anything else worth a damn. wilderness preservation, like a hundred other good causes, will be forgotten under the overwhelming pressure of a struggle for mere survival and sanity in a completely urbanized, completely industrialized, ever more crowded environment. for my own part i would rather take my chances in a thermonuclear war than live in such a world.

• I suppose each of us has his own fantasy of how he wants to die. I would like to go out in a blaze of glory, myself, or maybe simply disappear someday, far out in the heart of the wilderness I love, all by myself, alone with the Universe and whatever God may happen to be looking on. Disappear - and never return. That's my fantasy.

• Necesitamos espacios naturales porque somos animales salvajes. Todos necesitamos un lugar al que ir para volvernos locos en paz. Por el terror, la libertad y el delirio. Porque necesitamos brutalidad y aventura en bruto, porque los hombres y las mujeres aprendieron primero a amar dentro, debajo y alrededor de los árboles, porque necesitamos para cada par de pies y piernas unas diez leguas de naturaleza desnuda, peñascos desde los que saltar, montañas en las que medirse, desiertos en los que morir finalmente cuando falla el corazón.
