If we do not live where we work and when we work we are wasting our lives and our work too.
Wendell BerryPeople use drugs, legal and illegal, because their lives are intolerably painful or dull. They hate their work and find no rest in their leisure. They are estranged from their families and their neighbors. It should tell us something that in healthy societies drug use is celebrative, convivial, and occasional, whereas among us it is lonely, shameful, and addictive. We need drugs, apparently, because we have lost each other.
Wendell BerryWe're living, it seems, in the culmination of a long warfare - warfare against human beings, other creatures and the Earth itself.
