Wendell Berry quotes
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief... For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival.
I am not bound for any public place, but for ground of my own where I have planted vines and orchard trees, and in the heat of the day climbed up into the healing shadow of the woods.

The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.

We learn from our gardens to deal with the most urgent question of the time: How much is enough?
