To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival.- Wendell Berry
When my time on earth is gone, and my activities here are passed, I want they bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my ass!
Earth teach me to forget myself as melted snow forgets its life. Earth teach me resignation as the leaves which die in the fall. Earth teach me courage as the tree which stands all alone. Earth teach me regeneration as the seed which rises in the spring.
I once said, "We will bury you," and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you.
A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of idea.
