"Love of heaven slanders earth; be true to the earth . . . We in America are being systematically robbed. Robbed of the most elementary decencies of life - clean air, sunlight, pure unmedicated water, silence, solitude and space, even time, even death. Instead?
"Tee Vee. Hi-Fi. Super-Duper. Glittering shit. And, finally, morphine. Not socialism, not capitalism is the enemy, but - industry and technology carried to excess, to and beyond the point of madness."
"I'm back in Abbey's country again. I walk in beauty, I go in beauty. Red naked rock again, the enormous and dazzling sky . . . , magnificence everywhere I look. The brave, sweet, heartbreaking beauty of all wild and lonely things."
Edward Abbey
