More quotes by Wendell Berry
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
People who want to see the beauty of nature from motorboats and automobiles would obviously be just as pleased, and as fully recreated, at a drive-in movie.
Wendell Berry
We can fight the global economy with a strong local economy.
Wendell Berry

Wendell Berry
If you don't know where you are, you don't know who you are.
Wendell Berry
Perhaps all the good that ever has come here has come because people prayed it into the world.
Wendell Berry
The worst example of rural poverty is that of migrant farm workers. They have no permanent jobs, so they have no equity in the places where they work. They're not shareholders, let alone entrepreneurs. They're not small farmers, they're not market gardeners, they're just temporary - uprooted, isolated, easily exploitable people.
Wendell Berry
Beauty . . . cannot be interpreted. It is not an empirically verifiable fact it is not a quantity.
Wendell Berry

Wendell Berry
We are living in the most destructive and, hence, the most stupid period of the history of our species.
Wendell Berry
Waking up from a dream of violence is much the same as waking up from a dream of love. You must go on living your life.
Wendell Berry

Wendell Berry
The past is our definition. We may strive with good reason to escape it, or to escape what is bad in it. But we will escape it only by adding something better to it.
Wendell Berry
We are now, measurably, reducing the availability of these life-supporting goods which we can think of (though only on the conditions of good health and good care) as self-renewing or sustainable. We are also destroying rapidly the supplies of the fossil fuels, which are limited and not renewable, and on which we have become totally dependent.
Wendell Berry
We have become blind to the alternatives to violence.
Wendell Berry
You cannot save the land apart from the people, or the people apart from the land.
Wendell Berry
To be patient in an emergency is a terrible trial.
Wendell Berry
The mind that is not baffled, is unemployed
