Porter believed that "to put the world, and yourself at the same time, in a valid perspective you must remove yourself from the demands of both. The world's demands fade the faster, but nonetheless surely your own will shrink to acceptable proportions and cannot sally forth to attack you. In the wilderness of Glen Canyon you do not assail yourself. You glide on into the day unpursued, living, as all good river travelers should, in the present."
 
Eliot Porter, The Place No One Knew: Glen Canyon on the Colorado, abridged, David Brower (ed.) (San Francisco: Sierra Club and New York: Ballantine Books, 1968), 14.
