At one time in the world there were woods that no one owned.
- Cormac McCarthy
When they have opened a gap in the ... wall of separation between the Garden of the Church and the wildernes of the world, God hath ever ... made his Garden a Wildernesse.
- Roger Williams
Bare heights of loneliness...a wilderness whose burning winds sweep over glowing sands, what are they to HIM? Even there He can refresh us, even there He can renew us.
- Amy Carmichael
God is entirely and personally present in the wilderness, in the garden, in the field.
