“I had observed that the men who were most in life, who were molding life, who were life itself, ate little, slept little, owned little or nothing.

“I am losing precious days. I am degenerating into a machine for making money. I am learning nothing in this trivial world of men. I must break away and get out into the mountains to learn the news.”
— John Muir
