“We need wilderness whether or not we ever set foot in it. We need a refuge even though we may never need to go there. I may never in my life get to Alaska, for example, but I am grateful that it’s there.

― Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire

“There was another life that I might have had, but I am having this one.”
