Our drive to industrialize soured and undercut the intimacies that drew most people to country life in the first place Picture Quote #1

If you are afraid to write or edit or assemble or disassemble, you are merely a spectator. And you are trapped, trapped by the instructions of those you’ve chosen to follow. Twenty people in the field and eighty thousand in the stands. The spectators are the ones who paid to watch, but it’s the player on the field who are truly alive Picture Quote #1
