Famous quotes containing the words wilderness and/or areas:

    “Enough if the work has seemed,
    So did she your strength renew,
    A dream that a lion had dreamed
    Till the wilderness cried aloud.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The planet on which we live is poorly organized, many areas are overpopulated, others are reserved for a few, technology’s potential is only in part realized, and most people are starving.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
