Wilderness is a necessity... there must be places for human beings to satisfy their souls.

Wilderness is a necessity... there must be places for human beings to satisfy their souls.

John Muir
Soul, Wilderness, Humans

Wilderness is a necessity ... They will see what I meant in time. There must be places for human beings to satisfy their souls. Food and drink is not all. There is the spiritual. In some it is only a germ, of course, but the germ will grow.

John Muir, Terry Gifford (1996). “John Muir: His Life and Letters and Other Writings”, p.167, The Mountaineers Books

I have a low opinion of books; they are but piles of stones set up to show coming travelers where other minds have been, or at best signal smokes to call attention. No amount of word-making will ever make a single soul to know these mountains. As well seek to warm the naked and frostbitten by lectures on caloric and pictures of flame. One day's exposure to mountains is better than cartloads of books.

I am learning to live close to the lives of my friends without ever seeing them. No miles of any measurement can separate your soul from mine.

They tell us that plants are not like man immortal, but are perishable-soul -less. I think that is something that we know exactly nothing about.

John Muir
Men, Thinking, Soul

One day's exposure to mountains is better than cartloads of books. See how willingly Nature poses herself upon photographers' plates. No earthly chemicals are so sensitive as those of the human soul.

C. albus...I think the very loveliest of all the lily family - a spotless soul, plant saint, that every one must love and so be made better. It puts the wildest mountaineer on his good behavior. With this plant the whole world would seem rich though non other existed.

John Muir
Thinking, Soul, Saint
