Wendell Berry Limits Quotations

We can make ourselves whole only by accepting our partiality, by living within our limits, by being humans not by trying to be gods.

Only humans squander and hoard, murder and pillage because of notions.

To have good farming or good land use of any kind, you have got to have limits. Capitalism doesn't acknowledge limits.
