Nature is always trying to tell us that we are not so superior or independent or alone or autonomous as we may think.
Wendell Berry... it is not a crisis of our environs or surroundings; it is a crisis of our lives as individuals, as family members, as community members, and as citizens. We have an 'environmental crisis' because we have consented to an economy in which by eating, drinking, working, resting, traveling, and enjoying ourselves we are destroying the natural, god-given world.
Wendell BerryTo have good farming or good land use of any kind, you have got to have limits. Capitalism doesn't acknowledge limits.
Wendell BerryAlways in the big woods when you leave familiar ground and step off alone into a new place there will be, along with the feelings of curiosity and excitement, a little nagging of dread. It is the ancient fear of the Unknown, and it is your first bond with the wilderness you are going into.
Wendell Berry
