Wendell Berry Quotes

With Industrialization Has Come A General Depreciation Of Work. As The Price Of Work Has Gone Up, The Value Of It Has Gone Down, Until It Is So Depressed That People Simply Do Not Want To Do It Anymore. We Can Say Without Exaggeration That The Present National Ambition Of The United States Is Unemployment. People Live For Quitting Time, For Weekends, For Vacations, And For Retirement; Moreover, This Ambition Seems To Be Classless, As True In The Executive Suites As On The Assembly Lines. One Works Not Because The Work Is Necessary, Valuable, Useful To A Desirable End, Or Because One Loves To Do It, But Only To Be Able To Quit- A Condition That A Saner Time Would Regard As Infernal, A Condemnation. This Is Explained, Of Course, By The Dullness Of The Work, By The Loss Of Responsibility For, Or Credit For, Or Knowledge Of The Thing Made. What Can Be The Status Of The Working Small Farmer In A Nation Whose Motto Is A Sigh Of Relief: Thank God It's Friday?
