[About reading Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, age 14, in the back seat of his parents' sedan. I almost threw up.

Barry Lopez

Over the years, one comes to measure a place, too, not just for the beauty it may give, the balminess of its breezes, the insouciance and relaxation it encourages, the sublime pleasures it offers, but for what it teaches.
