Alice ValdalYou can stretch to your fullest in this land, Emma, and not touch any edges. There's no dream too big for the wilderness. I'd hate to see it tamed and carved up into little fiefdoms.
About This Quote
This quote is a reference to the United States and its endless amount of land available for those who seek to live free. The wilderness is the land that remains unclaimed by governments and is open for all to use as they wish. It can be used as a means for self-empowerment, as an escape from the worries of life, as a place where one can feel safe and be free, or where you can do anything you wish.
