John Muir idézet

„Amikor bármit magában próbálunk kiragadni, akkor rájövünk, hogy ez mindennel szorosan összefügg a világegyetemben.”

„A természettel való minden sétában az ember sokkal többet kap, mint amennyit keres.”

„Amikor bármit magában próbálunk kiragadni, akkor rájövünk, hogy ez mindennel szorosan összefügg a világegyetemben.”

“We all travel the milky way together, trees and men; but it never occurred to me until this storm-day, while swinging in the wind, that trees are travelers, in the ordinary sense. They make many journeys, not very extensive ones, it is true; but our own little comes and goes are only little more than tree-wavings — many of them not so much.”

“Accidents in the mountains are less common than in the lowlands, and these mountain mansions are decent, delightful, even divine, places to die in, compared with the doleful chambers of civilization. Few places in this world are more dangerous than home. Fear not, therefore, to try the mountain-passes. They will kill care, save you from deadly apathy, set you free, and call forth every faculty into vigorous, enthusiastic action. Even the sick should try these so-called dangerous passes, because for every unfortunate they kill, they cure a thousand.”
