More quotes by Edward Abbey
An empty man is full of himself.
Edward Abbey
I am not an atheist but an earthiest. Be true to the earth.
Edward Abbey
Indolence and melancholy: Each generates the other. If one can speak of such feeble passions as generating anything.
Edward Abbey
Through logic and inference we can prove anything. Therefore, logic and inference, in contrast to ordinary daily living experience, are secondary instruments of knowledge. Probably tertiary.
Edward Abbey
Men love their ideas more than their lives. And the more preposterous the idea, the more eager they are to die for it. And to kill for it.
Edward Abbey
We know so very little about this strange planet we live on, this haunted world where all answers lead only to more mystery.
Edward Abbey
A pretty girl can do no wrong.
Edward Abbey
Most new books drop immediately into the oblivion they so richly deserve.
Edward Abbey
Cold morning on Aztec Peak Fire Lookout. First, build fire in old stove. Second, start coffee. Then, heat up last night's pork chops and spinach for breakfast. Why not? And why the hell not?
Edward Abbey
If it's knowledge and wisdom you want, then seek out the company of those who do real work for an honest purpose.
Edward Abbey
One word is worth a thousand pictures. If it's the right word.

Edward Abbey
No man is wise enough to be another man's master. Each man's as good as the next -- if not a damn sight better.
Edward Abbey
Be loyal to what you love, be true to the earth, fight your enemies with passion and laughter.
Edward Abbey
Why can't we simply borrow what is useful to us from Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, especially Zen, as we borrow from Christianity, science, American Indian traditions and world literature in general, including philosophy, and let the rest go hang? Borrow what we need but rely principally upon our own senses, common sense and daily living experience.
Edward Abbey
We are preoccupied with time. If we could learn to love space as deeply as we are now obsessed with time, we might discover a new meaning in the phrase to live like men.
Edward Abbey
Do I believe in ghosts? I believe in the ghosts that haunt the human mind.
Edward Abbey
Our suicidal poets (Plath, Berryman, Lowell, Jarrell, et al.) spent too much of their lives inside rooms and classrooms when they should have been trudging up mountains, slogging through swamps, rowing down rivers. The indoor life is the next best thing to premature burial.
Edward Abbey
Music clouds the intellect but clarifies the heart.
