"In Europe people talk a great deal of the wilds of America but the Americans themselves never think about them; they are insensible to the wonders of inanimate nature and they may be said not to perceive the muighty forests that surround them till they fall beneith the hatchet." - Alexis de Tocqueville

"The most remote location in the lower 48 states is the southeastern part of Yellowstone. There is not another location that will take you more than twenty miles from a road." - Beast In the Garden

"Animals normally flee when exposed to unusual, potentially threatning situations, such as people approaching. However, repeated exposure to such situations, if not followed by negative consequences, may result in an animal that does not flee as readily. Behavioral scientists refer to this warning of response upon repeated exposure to potentially threatning situations as habituation."
