On the path that leads to nowhere I have sometimes found my Soul. -- Corinne Roosevelt Robinson (Younger sister of President Theodore Roosevelt

I'd rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth. -- Steve McQueen (Movie actor)

In God's wildness lies the hope of the world -- the great fresh, unblighted, unredeemed wilderness.

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike.  -- John Muir (American naturalist and co-founder of the Sierra Club)


There’s a land where the mountains are nameless, And the rivers all run God knows where; There are lives that are erring and aimless, And deaths that just hang by a hair; There are hardships that nobody reckons; There’s a land - oh, it beckons and beckons, And I want to go back - and I will.  -- Robert Service (British-born poet.), from The Spell of the Yukon
