Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land. By land is meant all of the things on, over or in the earth. Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left.”
And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the ground at our feet, and learn to be at home.
Wendell Berry
