WOLF QUOTABLES

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
-Madame Curie-

Wolves may feature in our myths,
our history, our dreams,
but they have their own future,
their own loves,
their own dreams to fulfill.

Anthony Miles

I warn you of the Evening wolves,
the rabid and howling Wolves of the Wilderness [which will] make...
Havock among you,
and not leave the Bones till the morning."

Cotton Mather

Frontiers Well-Defended, 1707

If all the beasts were gone,
Men would die from loneliness of spirit,
Since whatever happens to the beasts
Also happens to man.
All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the earth
Befalls the sons of the earth.

~Chief Seattle~

"In the wolf we have not so much an animal that we have always known as one that we have consistently imagined. We embark then on an observation of an imaginary creature, not in the pejorative but in the enlightened sense - - a wolf from which all other wolves are derived."
--Barry Lopez
Of Wolves and Men

We will be known by the tracks we leave behind....

"If the wolf is to survive, the wolf haters must be outnumbered. They must be outshouted, out financed, and out voted. Their narrow and biased attitude must be outweighed by an attitude based on an understanding of natural processes."
-- L. David Mech --

"Only the mountain has lived long enough
to listen objectively to the howl of a wolf"

Wolf is the grand teacher.
Wolf is the sage, who after man,
winters upon the sacred path
and seeking the ways of wisdom,
returns to share new knowledge with the tribe.
Wolf is both the radical and the
traditional in the same breath.
When the wolf walks by you -
you will remember.

~Robert Ghost Wolf~

I know your pirate face,
your eagle nose, scarred throat,
at any time fo day,
any mood or season.
I know all of you
in the dark, your cough,
your mountain scent
in a sweating crowd.
Every inch of me
would know any inch of you.

Now I know your swollen grave
by smoking red sunset,
by ice-white moonlight,
by snow drifted into deer tracks
between the rocks
I've seen an eagle spiral up
at sunset over your mound.

In the wolf hour
I've heard you howling on my scent,
tasted your touch,
seen your wolf soul.
You find me contstnat,
staring into the dark.

Linda Hasselstrom

If you talk to the animals
they will talk to you
and you will know each other.
If you do not talk to them,
you will not know them,
and what you do not know
you will fear;
and what you fear,
you will destroy.

--Chief Dan George

"We must strive to understand that every living creature has its purpose and value, and we must learn to recognize the balance and beauty of nature. Then, and only then, will the wolf's true destiny emerge."
-Maureen Greely-

The Teachers
"The Teachers features the hawk, who teaches us to soar,the wolf, who teaches us truth,
the bear, who teaches us medicine,
and the woman, who teaches compassion."

Pat Morris~ Wildlife Artist~

Everything the Power of the World
does is done in a circle. The sky is
round and I have heard that the earth is
round like a ball and so are all the stars.
The wind, in its greatest power, whirls.
Birds make their nests in circles,
for theirs is the same religion as ours.
The sun comes forth and goes down
again in a circle. The moon does the
same and both are round. Even the
seasons form a great circle in their
changing and always come back again
to where they were. The life of a man
is a circle from childhood to childhood.
And so it is in everything where power moves.

Black Elk, Oglala Sioux
(1863-1950)
