“What I wanted to do was not rule over the land or the fish in the water and birds in the sky, or the wild creatures. I wanted to defend and protect this pond, this land, and all the animals that lived on it. I felt within me the same ferocity of territorialism that any bird or animal in the wild did. This was my home.” — Mary Alice Monroe
