Love changes, and in change is true (Wendell Berry Quotes)
Without animals, something essential is removed from the minds of the farmers (Wendell Berry Quotes)
There is change by necessity or adaptation, and there is contrived change or novelty (Wendell Berry Quotes)
If we do not serve what coheres and endures, we serve what disintegrates and destroys (Wendell Berry Quotes)
In losing stewardship we lose fellowship; we become outcasts from the great neighborhood of creation (Wendell Berry Quotes)
Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed (Wendell Berry Quotes)
You can best serve civilization by being against what usually passes for it (Wendell Berry Quotes)
There are no unsacred places; there are only sacred places and desecrated places (Wendell Berry Quotes)
What could be more superstitious than the idea that money brings forth food? (Wendell Berry Quotes)
The freedom of affluence opposes and contradicts the freedom of community life (Wendell Berry Quotes)
The mercy of the world is you don’t know what’s going to happen (Wendell Berry Quotes)
A sustainable agriculture is one which depletes neither the people nor the land (Wendell Berry Quotes)
Without prosperous local economies, the people have no power and the land no voice (Wendell Berry Quotes)
The presence of the present has become insistent, undeniable, and I dare not look away (Wendell Berry Quotes)
Ask the questions that have no answers. Invest in the millenium. Plant sequoias (Wendell Berry Quotes)
The soil is the great connector of our lives, the source and destination of all (Wendell Berry Quotes)
Only by restoring the broken connections can we be healed. Connection is health (Wendell Berry Quotes)
I’d rather rely on mother nature’s wisdom than man’s cleverness (Wendell Berry Quotes)
But the only possible guarantee of the future is responsible behavior in the present (Wendell Berry Quotes)
I would like you to show me, if you can, where the line can be drawn between an organism and it’s environment. The environment is in you. It’s passing through you. You’re breathing it in and out. You and every other creature (Wendell Berry Quotes)
To defend what we love we need a particularizing language, for we love what we particularly know (Wendell Berry Quotes)
However destructive may be the policies of the government and the methods and products of the corporations, the root of the problem is always found to be found in private life. We must learn to see that every problem that concerns us as conservationists always leads straight to the question of how we live. The world is being destroyed, no doubt about it, by the greed of the rich and powerful. It is also being destroyed by popular demand (Wendell Berry Quotes)
To 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 Berry Quotes)
When humans act like animals, they become the most dangerous of animals to themselves and other humans, and this is because of another critical difference between humans and animals: Whereas animals are usually restrained by the limits of physical appetites, humans have mental appetites that can be far more gross and capacious than physical ones. Only humans squander and hoard, murder and pillage because of notions (Wendell Berry Quotes)
The answers to the human problems of ecology are to be found in economy. And the answers to the problems of economy are to be found in culture and character. To fail to see this is to go on dividing the world falsely between guilty producers and innocent consumers (Wendell Berry Quotes)
The economy is still substantially that of the fur trade, still based on the same general kinds of commercial items: technology, weapons, ornaments, novelties, and drugs. The one great difference is that by now the revolution has deprived the mass of consumers of any independent access to the staples of life: clothing, shelter, food, even water. Air access remains the only necessity that the average user can still get for himself, and the revolution has imposed a heavy tax on that by way of pollution. Commercial conquest is far more thorough and final than military defeat (Wendell Berry Quotes)
There are not enough rich and powerful people to consume the whole world; for that, the rich and powerful need the help of countless ordinary people (Wendell Berry Quotes)
Monsanto doesn’t care about feeding the world. We have to think about the wage slavery of migrant workers and salary slavery of those who are desperately unhappy (Wendell Berry Quotes)
A proper education enables young people to put their lives in order, which means knowing what things are more important than other things; it means putting first things first (Wendell Berry Quotes)
The constructions of language, which is to say the constructions of thought, are formed within experience, not the other way around (Wendell Berry Quotes)
