"Walk away quietly in any direction and taste the freedom of the mountaineer. Camp out among the grasses and gentians
of glacial meadows, in craggy garden nooks full of nature's darlings. Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the
storms their energies, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. As age comes on, one source of enjoyment after another
is closed, but nature's sources never fail."
- John Muir, 1901
"To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards out of men."
- Abraham Lincoln
