"I am not so naive, nor narrow sighted as to suggest that we should not use the gifts of the earth to our benefit, nor never alter the landscape to accommodate our efforts to create better lives, but I believe there are places whose existence was meant to serve no purpose save the beauty of their being...." — Don McGowan
