What I did in my youth is hundreds of times easier today. Technology breeds crime.
(Frank Abagnale)
When these stars die, after the ageless darkness, more stars will come. Under them our future selves will be. When their stars die, yet more stars will come. This is unending, for the darkness itself is eternal, and while there is darkness, there will always be the possibility of stars.
(A. Wohsedis)
Thou shall have a place also without the camp, whither thou shall go forth abroad. And thou shall have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shall dig therewith, and shall turn back and cover that which cometh from thee. For the Lord thy God walked in the midst of thy camp.
(Deuteronomy)
An outdoor ethic means personal involvement in the outdoors as an essential part of life. It means a sense of appreciation for, and obligation toward the air, land, water and living things of the earth. It includes statesmanship: courtesy for others using the outdoors; and stewardship: our obligation to ensure future generations' enjoyment of our natural heritage.
(President's Commission On Americans Outdoors)
It was a clear day, with a brisk breeze blowing. North and south, sharp peaks etched the horizon. I felt as if atop the world, with a sort of planetary feeling. I seemed to perceive peaks far southward, hidden by old Earth's curvature. Would a footpath some day reach them from where I was then perched? Little did I dream.
