Barry Lopez Quotes

You can’t learn anything from saguaro cactus, from ocotillo. They are just passing through; their roots, their much heralded dormancy in the dry season, these are only illusions of permanence. They know even less than you do Picture Quote #1

Would the last animal, eating garbage and living on the last scrap of land, his mate dead, would he still forgive you? Picture Quote #1

I lay there knowing something eerie ties us to the world of animals. Sometimes the animals pull you backward into it. You share hunger and fear with them like salt in blood Picture Quote #1

It does not demean men to want to be what they imagine the wolf to be, but it does demean them to kill the animal for it Picture Quote #1

For so many centuries, the exchange of gifts has held us together. It has made it possible to bridge the abyss where language struggles Picture Quote #1

Because you have seen something doesn’t mean you can explain it. Differing interpretations will always abound, even when good minds come to bear. The kernel of indisputable information is a dot in space; interpretations grow out of the desire to make this point a line, to give it direction. The directions in which it can be sent, the uses to which it can be put by a culturally, professionally, and geographically diverse society are almost without limit. The possibilities make good scientists chary Picture Quote #1

Everything is held together with stories. That is all that is holding us together, stories and compassion Picture Quote #1

No culture has yet solved the dilemma each has faced with the growth of a conscious mind: how to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in all life, when one finds darkness not only in one’s own culture but within oneself Picture Quote #1
