The Barren Grounds Quotes

“Stories always lead people somewhere, To a place, to a memory.”
― David Alexander Robertson, The Barren Grounds

“Humans...The land provides everything that anybody would need. If you take only what you need, the land renews itself so that it can provide more. Medicines, water, plants, meat. In exchange, because we don’t really have anything the land wants, we honor it for what it gives us...When you take more than the land can provide, it stops giving. It can’t give. That’s what’s happened here. That’s what happens with humans.”
― David Alexander Robertson, The Barren Grounds
