It may be that when we no longer know which way to go that we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings (Wendell Berry Quotes)
The cloud is free only to go with the wind. The rain is free only in falling (Wendell Berry Quotes)
The road is a word, conceived elsewhere and laid across the country in the wound prepared for it: a word made concrete and thrust among us (Wendell Berry Quotes)
... And we pray, not for new earth or heaven, but to be quiet in heart, and in eye clear. What we need is here (Wendell Berry Quotes)
To define knowledge as merely empirical is to limit one’s ability to know; it enfeebles one’s ability to feel and think (Wendell Berry Quotes)
Beauty... cannot be interpreted. It is not an empirically verifiable fact; it is not a quantity (Wendell Berry Quotes)
... I was a young man. I hardly knew what I knew, let alone what I was going to know (Wendell Berry Quotes)

Nobody can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for ourselves does it become common ground and a common bond and we cease to be alone (Wendell Berry Quotes)
Again I resume the long lesson: how small a thing can be pleasing, how little in this hard world it takes to satisfy the mind and bring it to its rest (Wendell Berry Quotes)
A man’s life is always dealing with permanence, that is the most dangerous kind of irresponsibility is to think of your doings as temporary (Wendell Berry Quotes)
It is to be broken. It is to be torn open. It is not to be reached and come to rest in ever. I turn against you, I break from you, I turn to you. We hurt, and are hurt, and have each other for healing. It is healing. It is never whole (Wendell Berry Quotes)
And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the ground at our own feet, and learn to be at home (Wendell Berry Quotes)
