“Every
man, every woman, carries in heart and mind the image of the ideal place, the
right place, the one true home, known or unknown, actual or visionary. A houseboat in Kashmir, a view down Atlantic Avenue in
Brooklyn, a gray gothic farmhouse two stories high at the end of a red dog road
in the Allegheny Mountains, a cabin on the shore of a blue lake in spruce and
fir country, a greasy alley near the Hoboken waterfront, or even, possibly, for
those of a less demanding sensibility, the world to be seen from a comfortable
apartment high in the tender, velvety smog of Manhattan, Chicago, Paris, Tokyo,
Rio, or Rome — there's no limit to the human capacity for
the homing sentiment.” ~ Edward Abbey, Environmentalist/Author
