Michael Pollan
“I was struck by the fact that for Joel abjuring agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals is not so much a goal of his farming, as it so often is in organic agriculture, as it is an indication that his farm is functioning well. “In nature health is the default,” he pointed out. “Most of the time pests and disease are just nature’s way of telling the farmer he’s doing something wrong.”
Michael Pollan, The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals

John Rachel
“We hold our dreams and ideals close to our hearts, where the promises are made to the future generations.”
John Rachel, A Long Night's Journey Into Daylight

Herman Melville
“Let faith oust fact; let fancy oust memory; I look deep down and do believe.”
Herman Melville, Moby Dick oder Der Wal

Jonathan Swift
“So Geographers in Afric-maps
With Savage-Pictures fill their Gaps;
And o'er uninhabitable Downs
Place Elephants for want of Towns”
Jonathan Swift

“This faulty light fitting at the front door with the dangerously flickering bulb looks rather festive. Who says I don't do Christmas?”
