These Temple-destroyers, Devotees Of Ravaging Commercialism

HomeFortune CookiesMiscellaneous Collections

These temple-destroyers, devotees of ravaging commercialism, seem to have a
perfect contempt for Nature, and instead of lifting their eyes to the God
of the mountains, lift them to the Almighty Dollar. Dam Hetch Hetchy! As
well dam for water-tanks the people's cathedrals and churches, for no
holier temple has ever been consecrated by the heart of man.
-- John Muir, American Naturalist (1838-1914)
