“You must understand that all of us are in the same boat which, at times, can find itself in calm seas and at others in rough ones. Maybe you'll tell me that yours has only seen rough seas. But know this... that a boat inured in rough seas comes out stronger than one anchored in port. The latter, in the heaven it enjoys, becomes more susceptible to rot.”

“There are many more ways we can adapt. For example, instead of using up our energies harping about big farmers (whom of course we need right now to provide enough food for all of us), buy your own little patch of land to turn into an oasis of food and wildlife abundance. More and more people are doing this rather than standing around wringing their hands about global warming. Your little sanctuary will not be prone to disappear when the inevitable financial crises hit the big commercial farms.”

“The homesteading generation's belief in education created the same Hobson's choice that so many farm families had to face. Children educated to become nurses, teachers, lawyers, pharmacists, insurance agents, doctors or police officers do not in general return to carry the family farm into the future. To use their education, they have to leave home and farming. And to complete this bittersweet irony, their children's success in other occupations were exactly what the homesteader generation had hoped for them. In a phenomenon familiar in both white and Black communities, the farming generation's deep commitment to educating their children produces children who were not, for the most part, interested in farming.”

“When Gene was building his log workshop a few years ago, a helicopter flew over, circling back to the clearing next to our cabin. It was one of the Mirelli boys. Todd Mirelli plunked his chopper down in the clearing, jumped out, and came over to chat. He was building his own log cabin and wanted some tips from Gene. He truly did “drop in,” in the very sense of those words.”
