We need areas of wilderness where life has not yet given way to machinery.

"Republican representative John Saylor of Pennsylvania told his colleagues as he first unveiled the proposed Wilderness Act in 1956, 'The stress and strain of our crowded, fast-moving, highly-mechanized and raucously noisy civilization create another great need for wilderness - a deep need for areas of solitude and quiet, for areas of wilderness where life has not yet given way to machinery.' "
