The Country of Marriage Quotes

“So, friends, every day do something that won't compute...Give your approval to all you cannot understand...Ask the questions that have no answers. Put your faith in two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years...Laugh. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts....Practice resurrection.”
― Wendell Berry, The Country of Marriage

“Though we have been
apart, we have been together.”
― Wendell Berry, The Country of Marriage

“This is zero,
the elementary poverty
of all that ever was born,
in which nothing lives by chance
but only by choosing to
and by knowing how--and by
the excess of desire that rises
above the mind, surrounding
and hovering like a song.”
― Wendell Berry, The Country of Marriage
