We need the tonic of wildness... At the same time we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea by indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough nature.
- Henry David Thoreau
It is good to know that there remain wild corners of this dreadfully civilized world.

-Edward Abbey

Earth does not belong to us. We belong to Earth. Take only memories. Leave nothing but footprints.

The scientist does not study nature because its useful; he (she) studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living.

- Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
- David Thoreau, Walden (1854)

- Jules Henri Poincare (1854-1912)
One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted on the land is invisible to layman. An ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise.
- Aldo Leopold
Anything else you're interested in is not going to happen if you can't breathe the air and drink the water. Don't sit this one out. Do something.
- - Carl Sagan
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - that assurance that dawn comes after night and spring after winter.
- - Rachel Carson, Silent Spring
There is a romance in Africa. You can see a sunset and believe you have witnessed the hand of God. You watch the lope of a lioness and forget to breath. You marvel at the tripod of a giraffe bent to water. In Africa, there are iridescent blues on the wings of birds that you do not see anywhere else in nature. In Africa, in the midday heat, you can see blisters in the atmosphere. When you are in Africa, you feel primordial, rocked in the cradle of the world. Given that sort of setting, is it any wonder that recollections might be rose colored?
- Jodi Picoult in her book 'Leaving Time'
You should sit in nature for 20 minutes a day. If you're busy, then you should sit for an hour.
- Zen meditation
We must alert and organize the world's people to pressure world leaders to take specific steps to solve the two root causes of our environmental crises - exploding population growth and wasteful consumption of irreplaceable resources. Overconsumption and overpopulation underlie every environmental problem we face today.
- Jacques Cousteau (1910 - 1997)
We are all adventurers here, I suppose, and wild doings in wild countries appeal to us as nothing else could do. It is good to know that there remain wild corners of this dreadfully civilized world.
