Worth Quoting

When I am called, as to my astonishment I sometimes am, a devotee of "simplicity" (since I live supposedly as a "simple farmer"), I am obliged to reply that I gave up the simple life when I left New York City in 1964 and came here [his farm in Kentucky--sfm].  In New York, I lived as a passive consumer, supplying nearly all my needs by purchase, whereas here I supply many of my needs from this place by my work (and pleasure) and am responsible besides for the care of the place.                                                                     --Wendell Berry, "Imagination in Place"

Another publishing triumph!

If only I could make money doing this.  Thanks to the Englewood Review of Books. http://erb.kingdomnow.org/the-humane-vision-of-wendell-berry-feature-review/
