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

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.

I took the other road, all right, but only because it was the easy road for me, the way I wanted to go. If I've encountered some unnecessary resistance that's because most of the traffic is going the other way.

The fire. The odor of burning ...

The fire. The odor of burning juniper is the sweetest fragrance on the face of the earth, in my honest judgment; I doubt if all the smoking censers of Dante's paradise could equal it. One breath of juniper smoke, like the perfume of sagebrush after rain, evokes in magical catalysis, like certain music, the space and light and clarity and piercing strangeness of the American West. Long may it burn.

But of the seven deadly sins, wrath is the healthiest - next only to lust.

Anarchism? You bet your sweet betsy. The only cure for the ills of democracy is more democracy. Much more.

A crowded society is a restrictive society; an overcrowded society becomes an authoritarian, repressive and murderous society.

Instant communication is not communication at all but merely a frantic, trivial, nerve-wracking bombardment of cliches, threats, fads, fashions, gibberish and advertising.

I now find the most marvelous things in the everyday, the ordinary, the common, the simple and tangible.

The love of a man for his wife...

The love of a man for his wife, his child, of the land where he lives and works, is for me the real meaning of mystical experience.

Edward Paul Abbey 702 quotes

Yes, there are plenty of heroe...

Yes, there are plenty of heroes and heroines everywhere you look. They are not famous people. They are generally obscure and modest people doing useful work, keeping their families together and taking an active part in the health of their communities, opposing what is evil (in one way or another) and defending what is good. Heroes do not want power over others.

Saving the world is only a hobby. Most of the time I do nothing.

Readers, not critics, are the people who determine a book's eventual fate.

In the land of bleating sheep and braying jackasses, one brave and honest man is bound to create a scandal.

To the Technocrats: Have mercy...

To the Technocrats: Have mercy on us. Relax a bit, take time out for simple pleasures. For example, the luxuries of electricity, indoor plumbing, central heating, instant electronic communication and such, have taught me to relearn and enjoy the basic human satisfactions of dipping water from a cold clear mountain stream; of building a wood fire in a cast-iron stove; of using long winter nights for making music, making things, making love; of writing long letters, in longhand with a fountain pen, to the few people on t

When guns are outlawed, only the Government will have guns. The Government - and a few outlaws. If that happens, you can count me among the outlaws.

I've never yet read a review of one of my own books that I couldn't have written much better myself.
