“if we could think locally, we would take far better care of things than we do now. the right local questions and answers will be the right global ones. the amish question ‘what will this do to our community?’ tends toward the right answer for the world.” (wendell berry. sex, economy, freedom and community.)

“In the last analysis, the individual person is responsible for living his own life and for “finding himself.” If he persists in shifting his responsibility to somebody else, he fails to find out the meaning of his own existence.”
