मैं जंगली जीवन की सादगी, सहज भावनाओं और गुणों को अपनाना चाहता था; सभ्यता की बनावटी आदतों, पूर्वाग्रहों और कमियों से खुद को मुक्त करना चाहता था; ...और पश्चिमी जंगलों की तन्हाई और भव्यता के बीच, मानव स्वभाव और इंसान के सच्चे हितों की अधिक सटीक समझ पाना चाहता था। मैंने बर्फ़ के मौसम को चुना, ताकि मैं पीड़ा का आनंद और खतरे के रोमांच का अनुभव कर सकूं।

I wished to acquire the simplicity, native feelings, and virtues of savage life; to divest myself of the factitious habits, prejudices and imperfections of civilization; ... and to find, amidst the solitude and grandeur of the western wilds, more correct views of human nature and of the true interests of man. The season of snows was preferred, that I might experience the pleasure of suffering, and the novelty of danger.

एकांत के फायदे कितने महान हैं! प्रकृति की सदा सक्रिय ऊर्जाओं की खामोशी कितनी भव्य होती है! 'जंगल' या 'बंजर भूमि' शब्द में ही कुछ ऐसा है जो कानों को मोह लेता है और इंसान की आत्मा को सुकून देता है। इसमें एक अजीब सा अध्यात्म है।

How great are the advantages of solitude! How sublime is the silence of nature's ever-active energies! There is something in the very name of wilderness, which charms the ear, and soothes the spirit of man. There is religion in it.

जब भी सभ्यता की चमक आप पर किसी विनाशकारी ताकत की तरह पड़े... तो जंगल में चले जाइए... काम की उबाऊ दिनचर्या, बाज़ार की भीषण होड़, और ईर्ष्यालु शहरों के खतरे बस एक याद बनकर रह जाएंगे... जंगल आपको अपनी आगोश में ले लेगा। वह आपके भीतर जोश भर देगा; वह आपको एक कमज़ोर इंसान से मजबूत व्यक्ति बना देगा... आप जल्द ही सब कुछ एक शांत मन से देख पाएंगे।

When ever the light of civilization faces upon you with a blighting power...go to the wilderness...Dull business routine, the fierce passions of the marketplace, the perils of envious cities became but a memory...The wilderness will take hold of you. It will give you good red blood; it will turn you from a weakling into a man...You will soon behold all with a peaceful soul.
