Nature is always lovely, invincible, glad, whatever is done and suffered by her creatures. All scars she heals, whether in rocks or water or sky or hearts.

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.

I felt like poisoning a monk.

Fate does not expect to be fought and will reward those who dare to fight against it.

To forget is the secret of eternal youth. One grows old only through memory. There's much too little forgetting.

The spring's already at the gate With looks my care beguiling; The country round appeareth straight A flower-garden smiling.

It's really, really hard to make it as a fine-art photographer exclusively.

I don't want to sound facetious, but humour is the key to the soul. You know what I mean?

There is no stopping place in this life--nor is there ever one for any person, no matter how far along the way one's gone.

Socialism isn't a dirty word; it just means sharing. Really, it's just the bureaucratic arm of Christianity.

As an artist, I can't be responsible for how people interpret material.
