“Once she finished scuffling with her brothers, Arnaaluk yawned, resting her haunches in the grass. As she looked to the rising sun following the short summer night, Kiviaq huddled next to her. The two wolves gazed on the stunning panorama. Closeness beamed over them like the warmth of the sun's rays on a cool morning.”

“Once the apparition had vanished, Tulok howled again. A mystery resonated through his howl, causing all who heard to still their thoughts and listen. It was a howl of sadness, demanding understanding, a howl challenging those who heard to reject the myths, tales, hate, and fear, and learn the true nature of the wolf.”

“Tulok feared something horrific was moving through the mountains and forests. Tall creatures that carried sticks that made loud noises, able to fire sharp hot objects into any living things. Tall creatures that killed predator and prey alike, and did not value wolves as families or individuals. This was a recurring nightmare Tulok had experienced several times recently. Was it becoming a grim omen? He wondered.”

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
― The Fellowship of the Ring

“When I consider that the nobler animal have been exterminated here - the cougar, the panther, lynx, wolverine, wolf, bear, moose, dear, the beaver, the turkey and so forth and so forth, I cannot but feel as if I lived in a tamed and, as it were, emasculated country... Is it not a maimed and imperfect nature I am conversing with? As if I were to study a tribe of Indians that had lost all it's warriors...I take infinite pains to know all the phenomena of the spring, for instance, thinking that I have here the entire poem, and then, to my chagrin, I hear that it is but an imperfect copy that I possess and have read, that my ancestors have torn out many of the first leaves and grandest passages, and mutilated it in many places. I should not like to think that some demigod had come before me and picked out some of the best of the stars. I wish to know an entire heaven and an entire earth.”

“But man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself.”

“We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes. I realized then, and have known ever since, that there was something new to me in those eyes – something known only to her and to the mountain. I was young then, and full of trigger-itch; I thought that because fewer wolves meant more deer, that no wolves would mean hunters’ paradise. But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view.”
