“Of all the mountain ranges I have climbed, I like the Sierra Nevada the best.”

“Beetles and butterflies are sometimes restricted to small areas. Each mountain in a range, and even the different zones of a mountain, may have its own peculiar species. But the house-fly seems to be everywhere. I wonder if any island in mid-ocean is flyless.”

“Nature is ever at work building and pulling down, creating and destroying, keeping everything whirling and flowing, allowing no rest but in rhythmical motion, chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another.”

“I knew dad was born in Yorkshire and mum was from Mountain Ash.”

“My mom lives on a mountain in the Catskills.”

“Being a mountain boy, I have always understood the importance of trees, animals and nature for a human being.”
