Edward Abbey
There is this to be said for walking: it’s the one mode of human locomotion by which a man proceeds on his own two feet, upright, erect, as a man should be, not squatting on his rear haunches like a frog.
Walking makes the world much bigger and therefore more interesting.
Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, and as vital to our lives as water and good bread.
Walking is the only form of transportation in which a man proceeds erect - like a man - on his own legs, under his own power. There is immense satisfaction in that.
