Wallace Stegner Quotes About Geography

• Necesitamos que se conserven las zonas salvajes -todas las que aún quedan y de todos los tipos- porque fueron el reto contra el que se formó nuestro carácter como pueblo. Simplemente necesitamos disponer de esas zonas salvajes, aunque nunca hagamos más que conducir hasta su borde y mirar dentro. Porque puede ser un medio de reafirmarnos en nuestra cordura como criaturas, una parte de la geografía de la esperanza.

• If there is such a thing as being conditioned by climate and geography, and I think there is, it is the West that has conditioned me. It has the forms and lights and colors that I respond to in nature and in art. If there is a western speech, I speak it; if there is a western character or personality, I am some variant of it; if there is a western culture in the small-c , anthropological sense, I have not escaped it. It has to have shaped me. I may even have contributed to it in minor ways, for culture is a pyramid to which each of us brings a stone.

• Every book that anyone sets out on is a voyage of discovery that may discover nothing. Any voyager may be lost at sea, like John Cabot. Nobody can teach the geography of the undiscovered. All he can do is encourge the will to explore, plus impress upon the inexperienced a few of the dos and don'ts of voyaging.
