Many people think that when we practice agriculture, nature is helping us in our efforts to grow food. This is an exclusively human-centered viewpoint... we should instead, realize that we are receiving that which nature decides to give us. A farmer does not grow something in the sense that he or she creates it. That human is only a small part of the whole process by which nature expresses its being. The farmer has very little influence over that process... other than being there and doing his or her small part.

We have come to the point at which there is no other way than to bring about a 'movement' not to bring anything about

We must find our way back to true nature. We must set ourselves to the task of revitalizing the earth. Regreening the earth, sowing seeds in the desert--that is the path society must follow.

Since I turned the fields back to their natural state, I can't say I've had any really difficult problems with insects or disease.

The simple hearth of the small farm is the true center of our universe.

There is no one so great as the one who does not try to accomplish anything
