Paradise is the here and now, ...

Paradise is the here and now, the actual, tangible, dogmatically real Earth on which we stand. Yes, God bless America, the Earth upon which we stand.

Edward Paul Abbey 702 quotes

As a confirmed melancholic, I ...

As a confirmed melancholic, I can testify that the best and maybe only antidote for melancholia is action. However, like most melancholics, I suffer also from sloth.

All living things on earth are...

All living things on earth are kindred.

Edward Paul Abbey 702 quotes

All men are brothers, we like ...

All men are brothers, we like to say, half-wishing sometimes in secret it were not true. But perhaps it is true. And is the evolutionary line from protozoan to Spinoza any less certain? That also may be true. We are obliged, therefore, to spread the news, painful and bitter though it may be for some to hear, that all living things on earth are kindred.

Edward Paul Abbey 702 quotes

All we have, it seems to me, is the beauty of art and nature and life, and the love which that beauty inspires.

Original sin, the true original sin, is the blind destruction for the sake of greed of this natural paradise which lies all around us-if only we were worthy of it.

Edward Paul Abbey 702 quotes

The national parks belong to everyone. To the people. To all of us. The government keeps saying so and maybe, in this one case at least, the government is telling the truth. Hard to believe, but possible.

Edward Paul Abbey 702 quotes

Let the people walk. Or ride horses, bicycles, mules, wild pigs-anything-but keep the automobiles and the motorcycles and all their motorized relatives out. We have agreed not to drive our automobiles into cathedrals, concert halls, art museums, legislative assemblies, private bedrooms and other sanctums of our culture; we should treat our national parks with the same deference, for they, too, are holy places.

An empty man is full of himself.

The longest journey begins wit...

The longest journey begins with a single step, not with a turn of the ignition key.

Edward Paul Abbey 702 quotes

To the question: Wilderness, who needs it? Doc would say: Because we like the taste of freedom, comrades. Because we like the smell of danger. But, thought Hayduke, what about the smell of fear, Dad?

Humans were free before the word freedom became necessary.

Edward Paul Abbey 702 quotes

Lightning streaks like gunfire...

Lightning streaks like gunfire through the clouds, volleys of thunder shake the air.

So I write mainly for the fun ...

So I write mainly for the fun of it, the hell of it, the duty of it. I enjoy writing and will probably be a scribbler on my dying day, sprawled on some stony trail halfway between two dry waterholes.

Edward Paul Abbey 702 quotes

Money confers the power to command the labor of others. Love of money is love of power. And love of power is the root of evil.

WEALTH AND HOW TO ACHIEVE IT:
Let us define the wealthy man as he who has everything he desires. How to reach that happy condition? Two ways

I don't see how poetry can ever be easy... Real poetry, the thick, dense, intense, complicated stuff that lives and endures, requires blood sweat; blood and sweat are essential elements in poetry as well as behind it.

I wish to be
an inspector of volcanoes.
I want to study cloud formations
and memorize the wind
and learn by heart the habits of
the ponderosa pine.

Edward Paul Abbey 702 quotes

Desert springtime, with flower...

Desert springtime, with flowers popping up all over the place, trees leafing out, streams gushing down from the mountains. Great time of year for hiking, camping, exploring, sleeping under the new moon and the old stars. At dawn and at evening we hear the coyotes howling with excitementЂ'mating season.

Anarchism is democracy taken seriously.
