Wendell Berry Quotes

To Be The Mother Of A Grown-up Child Means That You Don't Have A Child Anymore, And That Is Sad. When The Grown-up Child Leaves Home, That Is Sadder. I Wanted Margaret To Go To College, But When She Actually Went Away It Broke My Heart. Maybe If You Had Enough Children You Could Get Used To Those Departures, But, Having Only Three, I Never Did. I Felt Them Like Amputations. Something I Needed Was Missing. Sometimes, Even Now, When I Come Into This House And It Sounds Empty, Before I Think I Will Wonder, Where Are They?
