John Muir, In His Own Words

The best of John Muir—332 quotations, the distillation of his thought, the essence of his beliefs. Muir was the firemost conservationist of his time—nature writer, social critic, realist, a romantic, a visionary. "A long-needed collection that features an excellent subject index. Painstaking bibliographic references make this an invaluable addition to one's Muir library." (Yosemite Association.) If asked for a succinct statement of his beliefs, Muir might have replied:
"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
