"Something will have gone out of us as a people if we ever let the remaining wilderness be destroyed. The reminder and the reassurance that it is still there is good for our spiritual health even if we never once in ten years set foot in it. It is important to us simply because it is there - important, that is, simply as idea. It can be a means of reassuring ourselves of our sanity as creatures, a part of the geography of hope."
