"In order to forge alliances, we first need worthy adversaries. Without adversaries, no alliances are necessary."

"Edward Abbey said you must "brew your own beer; kick in you Tee Vee; kill your own beef; build your cabin and piss off the front porch whenever you bloody well feel like it." I already had a good start. As a teenager in rural Maine, after we came to America, I had learned hunting, fishing, and trapping in the wilderness. My Maine mentors had long ago taught me to make home brew. I owned a rifle, and I'd already built a log cabin. The rest should be easy. I thought I'd give it a shot."

"There is nothing quite so gentle, deep, and irrational as running--and nothing quite so savage, so wild."
