[Quote No.10350] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"When we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work and when we no longer know which way to go we have begun our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.

[Quote No.65831] Need Area: Money > Spend
"[Priorities, minimalism, essentialism, enough-ism, etc:] And I am far from conceding anything to those who assume that the poor or anyone else can be improved by recourse to that carnival of waste and ostentation and greed known as 'our high standard of living.' As Thoreau so well knew, and so painstakingly tried to show us, what a man most needs is not a knowledge of how to get more, but a knowledge of the most he can do without, and of how to get along without it. 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!" - Wendell Berry
Poet, farmer, and ecological steward. As quoted in his book 'The Hidden Wound'.

[Quote No.11371] Need Area: Property > Garden/Nature
"I am not bound for any public place, but for ground of my own where I have planted vines and orchard trees, and in the heat of the day climbed up into the healing shadow of the woods. Better than any argument is to rise at dawn and pick dew-wet red berries in a cup." - Wendell Berry

[Quote No.13011] Need Area: Property > Conservation
"We do need a 'new economy,' but one that is founded on thrift and care, on saving and conserving, not on excess and waste. An economy based on waste is inherently and hopelessly violent, and war is its inevitable by-product. We need a peaceable economy." - Wendell Berry

[Quote No.9682] Need Area: Friends > Partners
"Marriage [is] not just a bond between two people but a bond between those two people and . . . their children, and their neighbors...lovers must not ... live for themselves alone. They must turn from their gaze at one another back toward the community. . . . The marriage of two lovers joins them to one another, to forebears, to descendants, to the community, to Heaven and earth. It is the fundamental connection without which nothing holds, and trust is its necessity.

[Quote No.45844] Need Area: Friends > General
"In order to survive, a plurality of true communities would require not egalitarianism and tolerance but knowledge, an understanding of the necessity of [individualism] local differences, and respect. Respect, I think, always implies imagination - the ability to see one another [empathy], across our inevitable differences, as living souls." - Wendell Berry
