We can make ourselves whole only by accepting our partiality, by living within our limits, by being humans not by trying to be gods.
Wendell BerryAnnual plants are nature's emergency medical service, seeded in sounds and scars to hold the land until the perennial cover is re-established.
Wendell BerryTo me, an economy that sees the life of a community or a place as expendable, and reckons its value only in terms of money, is not acceptable because it is not realistic. I am thinking as I believe we must think if we wish to discuss the best uses of people, places, and things, and if we wish to give affection some standing in our thoughts.
Wendell BerryWilling to die you give up your will; keep still, until moved by what moves all else, you move.
