It is therefore absurd to approach the subject of health piecemeal with a departmentalized band of specialists. A medical doctor uninterested in nutrition, in agriculture, in the wholesomeness of mind and spirit is as absurd as a farmer who is uninterested in health. Our fragmentation of this subject cannot be our cure, because it is our disease. The body cannot be whole alone. Persons cannot be whole alone. It is wrong to think that bodily health is compatible with spiritual confusion or cultural disorder, or with polluted air and water or impoverished soil.

Love changes, and in change is true.

I could die in peace, I think, if the world was beautiful. To know it's being ruined is hard.

Do unto those downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you.

You cannot save the land apart from the people, or the people apart from the land.
