“All this business of a labour to accomplish, before I can end, of words to say, a truth to recover, in order to say it, before I can end, of an imposed task, once known, long neglected, finally forgotten, to perform, before I can be done with speaking, done with listening, I invented it all, in the hope it would console me, help me to go on, allow me to think of myself as somewhere on a road, moving, between a beginning and an end, gaining ground, losing ground, getting lost, but somehow in the long run making headway.” ThinkingLongI CanEndsDoneHelpingRunningMovingOrderLostKnownListeningGoes OnLosingTasksForgottenAccomplishHelp MeLabourLong RunsNeglectedConsoleGetting Lost Book:The Unnamable Source: The Unnamable
“Anybody interested in solving, rather than profiting from, the problems of food production and distribution will see that in the long run the safest food supply is a local food supply, not a supply that is dependent on a global economy. Nations and regions within nations must be left free and should be encouraged to develop the local food economies that best suit local needs and local conditions.” NeedsShouldLongProblemRunningLeftNationsEconomyConditionsProductionsLocalsSuitsDependentRegionsLong RunsDistributionGlobal EconomyBe EncouragedFood SupplyFood ProductionLocal Food Book:The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays of Wendell Berry Source: The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays of Wendell Berry
“The idea of a wanton woman is something I have inserted into almost all of my books. An outlaw figure who is disallowed in the community because of her imagination or activity or status - that kind of anarchic figure has always fascinated me. And the benefits they bring with them, in spite of the fact that they are either dismissed or upbraided - something about their presence is constructive in the long run.” KindLongBookIdeasFactsRunningCommunityImaginationFiguresActivityBenefitsSpiteFascinatedLong RunsConstructiveOutlawWanton Author:Toni Morrison
“One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In stopping to think through the meaning of what I have learned, there is much that I believe intensely, much I am unsure of. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.” ThinkingBelieveLongEndsPhilosophyRunningDiesChoicesI BelieveProcessResponsibilityOur LivesShapesLong RunsI Have LearnedStoppingUnsure Author:Eleanor Roosevelt
“If you look at a photograph, and you think, 'My isn't that a beautiful photograph,' and you go on to the next one, or 'Isn't that nice light?' so what? I mean what does it do to you or what's the real value in the long run? What do you walk away from it with? I mean, I'd much rather show you a photograph that makes demands on you, that you might become involved in on your own terms or be perplexed by.” IfsThinkingLooksMeanLongDoeRealShowsLightMightRunningBeautifulValuesNextTermWalksNiceGoes OnInvolvedDemandPhotographLong RunsThe Next OneReal ValuePerplexed Author:Duane Michals
“If Christianity were true religious persecution would become a pious and charitable duty: if God designs to punish men for their opinions it would be an act of mercy to mankind to extinguish such opinions. By burning the bodies of those who diffuse them many souls would be saved that would otherwise be lost, and so there would be an economy of torment in the long run. It is therefore not surprising that enthusiasts should be intolerant.” IfsMenShouldLongSoulBodyWould BeRunningLostReligiousChristianityOpinionEconomyMankindDesignDutyMercySavedBurningSurprisingLong RunsPersecutionTormentPiousCharitableReligious Persecution Book:The Martyrdom of Man Source: The Martyrdom of Man
