“People on the land rely heavily on family for everything. They form our closest allies, workforce and advisors; they are our inspiration and confidants. They accept our love and understanding and, unfortunately at times, they bear the brunt of our frustration and anger. We learn to accept and adapt to those times.”
Ralph Cover, Who the Hell Is Ralphy?

“Where would we be without memory? We’re born remembering nothing, and a lot of us, unfortunately, leave without remembering anything. However, between birth and death there is a wealth of life and understanding, of learning and teaching – we give and take from one another to make it a better world, to learn from our mistakes and to make progress from our knowledge.”
Ralph Cover, Who the Hell Is Ralphy?

“I’ve done a few things away from the land, but it seems to be in the blood, a part of the DNA. It’s a magnet, a sense, almost an obsession. Perhaps it’s a sense of belonging. It’s difficult to explain. There are many hardships and heartaches along the way in rural life, but if you leave it, you’re invariably drawn back, like a guardian of the land.”
