"Do not burn yourselves out. Be as
I am– a reluctant enthusiast…a part time crusader, a half-hearted
fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure
and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more
important to enjoy it. While you can. While it is still there. So go
out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble
out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the
mountains, and bag the peaks…. and I promise you this much: I promise
you this one sweet victory over your enemies, over those deskbound
people with their hearts in a safe deposit box… I promise you this:
you will outlive the bastards."

-Edward Abbey
