Water flows uphill towards money. ~Anonymous saying in the American West, quoted by Ivan Doig in Marc Reisner, Cadillac Desert, 1986
Let us a little permit Nature to take her own way; she better understands her own affairs than we. ~Michel de Montaigne, translated
It is imperative to maintain portions of the wilderness untouched so that a tree will rot where it falls, a waterfall will pour its curve without generating electricity, a trumpeter swan may float on uncontaminated water - and moderns may at least see what their ancestors knew in their nerves and blood. ~Bernand De Voto, Fortune, June 1947
