Wendell Berry Quotes

The Essential Cultural Discrimination Is Not Between Having And Not Having Or Haves And Have-nots, But Between The Superfluous And The Indispensable. Wisdom, It Seems To Me, Is Always Poised Upon The Knowledge Of Minimums; It Might Be Thought To Be The Art Of Minimums. Granting The Frailty, And No Doubt The Impermanence, Of Modern Technology As A Human Contrivance, The Man Who Can Keep A Fire In A Stove Or On A Hearth Is Not Only More Durable, But Wiser, Closer To The Meaning Of Fire, Than The Man Who Can Only Work A Thermostat.
