Gary Snyder
“that we may see ourselves more accurately on this continent of watersheds and life-communities—plant zones, physiographic provinces, culture areas; following natural boundaries. The “U.S.A.” and its states and counties are arbitrary and inaccurate impositions on what is really here.”
Gary Snyder, Turtle Island

Thich Nhat Hanh
“In a true dialogue, both sides are willing to change.”
Thích Nhất Hạnh, Living Buddha, Living Christ

Gary Snyder
“And our conservationist-environmentalist-moral outrage is often (in its frustration) aimed at the logger or the rancher, when the real power is in the hands of people who make unimaginably larger sums of money, people impeccably groomed, excellently educated at the best universities - male and female alike - eating fine foods and reading classy literature, while orchestrating the investment and legislation that ruin the world.”
Gary Snyder, The Practice of the Wild: With a New Preface by the Author

Gary Snyder
“Spring-water in the green creek is clear Moonlight on Cold Mountain is white Silent knowledge—the spirit is enlightened of itself Contemplate the void: this world exceeds stillness.”
Gary Snyder, Riprap and Cold Mountain Poems

Gary Snyder
“All too many people in power in the governments and universities of the world seem to carry a prejudice against the natural world -and also against the past, against history. It seems Americans would live by a Chamber-of-Commerce Creationism that declares itself satisfied with a divinely presented Shopping Mall. The integrity and character of our own ancestors is dismissed with "I couldn't live like that" by people who barely know how to live at all. An ancient forest is seen as a kind of overripe garbage, not unlike the embarrassing elderly.”
Gary Snyder, The Practice of the Wild: With a New Preface by the Author
