I am hopelessly and forever a mountaineer.

The power of imagination makes us infinite.

As long as I live, I'll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing.

Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.

The grand show is eternal It is always sunrise somewhere

I’d rather be in the mountains thinking of God, than in church thinking about the mountains.

Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity.

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.

God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.

Wilderness is a necessity... there must be places for human beings to satisfy their souls.

God favors men and women who delight in being made worthy of happiness before the happiness itself.

When we yield ourselves completely to God, He gives Himself completely to us.

Did you hear what this idiot just said!? He said it's not about the W...It's everything about the W with me!

It's hard to sing really well when you're playing an instrument, but it'd be great to try and sing really well and have vocal effects and one drummer on a real drum-kit, and one on an electronic kit.

The uncertainty of our future is nothing more than a fog of breath on a windowpane.

Divine fires do not blaze each day but an artist functions in their afterglow, hoping for their recurrence.

Devotion does not mean only Chanting praise and singing glory of God, nor fasting and offerings made to God. Devotion is a specific attitude towards life and existence.

I would like to ask each of you: Would you be in favor of some kind of education on birth control and if so, how would you use that as a possible solution to the ever present question of abortion.

Authors and artists are still afraid of breaking away as far as [William Burroughs] did... And he did it in the 50s!
