Wendell Berry Quotes
A Purposeless Virtue Is A Contradiction In Terms. Virtue, Like Harmony, Cannot Exist Alone; A Virtue Must Lead To Harmony Between One Creature And Another. To Be Good For Nothing Is Just That. If A Virtue Has Been Thought A Virtue Long Enough, It Must Be Assumed To Have Practical Justification - Though The Very Longevity That Proves Its Practicality May Obscure It. That Seems To Be What Happened With The Idea Of Fidelity ...
Our Age Could Be Characterized As A Manifold Experiment In Faithlessness, And If It Has As Yet Produced No Effective Understanding Of The Practicalities Of Faith, It Has Certainly Produced Massive Evidence Of The Damage And Disorder Of Its Absence.
(pg.115-116, "The Body And The Earth")
