“Returning to nature has been a dream present in the minds of every generation since mankind first left nature.” 

“I was disoriented by the idea that men should ever leave the forest.”

“It occurred to me that no words by the tongue of man can express the simplicities of a quiet land, so I returned to the river.”

“I miss the mountains of Wyoming, not for what they were, but for what they made me.”

"If happiness required me to ignore my thoughts and questions, then I hoped to never be happy.” 

“This will be a test of my sanity and preparation, and I look forward to it.”

“Find your own solitude to discover your hidden thoughts and think of me often, as I will you.” 

“The contemplative man always lives alone. Regardless of who may reside in his home, his is a solitary world.” 

“I believe there is a connection to nature in all of us, and it is created by compassion and wonder for what has been lost.” 

“Nature has ruined me for other people.” 

“There is an affinity between mankind and the wild, but it is not earned fast or easy.”

“My greatest hope is to forever retain the serenity of mind that was earned in the forest.”
