A culture that values production over life values the wrong things, because it will produce things at the expense of living beings, human or otherwise.

We must learn how to think like the planet.

Violence, and evil, doesn't always come dressed in black, and it doesn't always look like Charles Manson. Nor does it always come to us as obvious and arrogant[...]. Often it comes to us with the simple plea to be reasonable.

I think a lot of us are increasingly recognizing that the dominant culture is killing the planet.

Learning has to come from doing, not intellectualizing.

It's no wonder we don't defend the land where we live. We don't live here. We live in television programs and movies and books and with celebrities and in heaven and by rules and laws and abstractions created by people far away and we live anywhere and everywhere except in our particular bodies on this particular land at this particular moment in these particular circumstances.

All writers are propagandists.
