"So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious, and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much; I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men and women with their hearts in a safe deposit box, and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this; You will outlive the bastards." - Edward Abbey

"Psychology was difficult to swallow. It was entirely theoretical. If you were good with words, you could become famous by making up your own psychological disorder: Attention Deficit Disorder, Repressed Memory Syndrome, Mississippi Small Town Traveling Syndrome. In the hundred years since the birth of psychology, two million maladies have thus been named, and twice as many theories proposed, but no one has yet come up with a single scientific law, rule, or objective formula. A hundred years is a long time to study something supposedly scientific without establishing even one empirical law."

"this is America the machine. It works quite well. The people in the machine look a little dazed, however. they have dyed their hair purple. They are covered with jewelry and tattoos. Their children are scattered across the country. They have serious substance-abuse problems. They are working on a historically unparalleled suicide rate. They exhibit about as much joy and innocence as old whores out on the boulevard. But the machine is working very smoothly, thank you."

"What's the point of taking all these highways, getting so far away, spending my last few dollars, when the world is just one big franchise loop and wherever I go, no matter how far I travel, the bus always dumps me off right back where I started?"
