More quotes by Roderick Nash
Wilderness appealed to those bored or disgusted with man and his works. It not only offered an escape from society but also was an ideal stage for the Romantic individual to exercise the cult that he frequently made of his own soul. The solitude and total freedom of the wilderness created a perfect setting for either melancholy or exultation.
Roderick Nash
Take away wilderness and you take away the opportunity to be American.
Roderick Nash
It is really not the wilderness that needs management (it has been doing quite well, after all, for a couple of billion years), but people.
Roderick Nash
