Many are dying from overwork, without ever having the chance to get one good look at the world.

"Many are in some strange way frost-bitten, business-bitten, or dry rotted with low cares.  'No time,' 'too many duties,' 'not strong enough, rich enough,' etc., are excuses urged [for not getting out into Nature].  In money-getting and mere good-doing, etc., we die and are coffined and hearsed and hidden away in a graveyard, hurried OUT of the world before having got INTO it, got one good look at it."

The Contemplative John Muir, p. 212
