Monsanto doesn't care about feeding the world. We have to think about the wage slavery of migrant workers and salary slavery of those who are desperately unhappy.

People are fed by the food industry, which pays no attention to health, and are treated by the health industry, which pays no attention to food.

The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.

It may be that 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.

Outdoors we are confronted everywhere with wonders; we see that the miraculous is not extraordinary, but the common mode of existence. It is our daily bread.

Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.

I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief.... For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

We need better government, no doubt about it. But we also need better minds, better friendships, better marriages, better communities.

You cannot save the land apart from the people, or the people apart from the land.

Unexpected wonders happen, not on schedule, or when you expect or want them to happen, but if you keep hanging around, they do happen.

Whether we and our politicians know it or not, Nature is party to all our deals and decisions, and she has more votes, a longer memory, and a sterner sense of justice than we do.

If mainstream culture thinks gender roles are unimportant, church culture makes them too important.

All things being equal, why not be married to a rich man? (Somewhere, Hannah thinks, there must be a needlepoint pillow asking this very question in a cleverer way.)

In the end, there is really nothing more important than taking care of the earth and letting it take care of you.

It's okay to fail; it's not okay to quit.

Confidence, to my way of thinking, generally is all the magic needed to work miracles.

A successful person never loses...they either win or learn!

I hope to keep working with television. I wouldn't mind doing more.

Men are pigs. I really have every sympathy for women that they actually have to choose one of these arrogant, stupid morons to settle down with and marry.

Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks.

It's not how long you live, but how you live that's important. Therefore, don't make your life just livable, make it memorable.
