Edward Abbey
“Water, water, water... There is no shortage of water in the desert but exactly the right amount...unless you try to establish a city where no city should be.”
Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire

Lyanda Lynn Haupt
“We are being called upon to act against a prevailing culture, to undermine our own entrenched tendency to accumulate and to consume, and to refuse to define our individuality by our presumed ability to do whatever we want.”
Lyanda Lynn Haupt, Crow Planet: Essential Wisdom from the Urban Wilderness
