“I remember an old man of this island… That old man never left this island… That old man mirrored everything that was good and is still good on this island… That old man whom I knew so well was conserved as I always want that mountain to be. He lived all his years here, in this island. It was really the only place he knew. He was a true part of this quiet land because he reflected its integrity. He is gone now but there is much of him still here.”
-Nick Evans, from the Introduction to ‘Quiet Places’.
