Wendell Berry on beginning with our own lives

“The only real, practical, hope-giving way to remedy the fragmentation that is the disease of the modern spirit is a small and humble way—a way that a government or agency or organization or institution will never think of, though a person may think of it: one must begin in one’s own life the private solutions that can only in turn become public solutions.”

  • Wendell Berry in The Unsettling of America, p. 25.
