Quotes by John Muir
“ Another glorious day, the air as delicious to the lungs as nectar to the tongue. ”
“ There is not a fragment in all nature, for every relative fragment of one thing is a full harmonious unit in itself. ”
“ "The water in music the oar forsakes." The air in music the wing forsakes. All things in move in music and write it. The mouse, lizard, and grasshopper sing together on the Turlock sands, sing with the morning stars. ”
“ Surely all God's people, however serious or savage, great or small, like to play. Whales and elephants, dancing, humming gnats, and invisibly small mischievous microbes— all are warm with divine radium and must have lots of fun in them. ”
“ Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike. ”
“ In God's wildness lies the hope of the world—the great fresh unblighted, unredeemed wilderness. The galling harness of civilization drops off, and wounds heal ere we are aware. ”
“ Only by going alone in silence, without baggage, can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness. All other travel is mere dust and hotels and baggage and chatter. ”
“ When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe. ”
“ I used to envy the father of our race, dwelling as he did in contact with the new-made fields and plants of Eden; but I do so no more, because I have discovered that I also live in "creation's dawn." The morning stars still sing together, and the world, not yet half made, becomes more beautiful every day. ”
“ None of Nature's landscapes are ugly so long as they are wild. ”
“ This time it is real - all must die, and where could mountaineer find a more glorious death. ”
“ When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty. ”
