Wendell Berry R.I.P.

we're going to miss his voice💜

His anti war stance made me a life long follower of his way of thinking on all things.....

We seek to preserve peace by fighting a war, or to advance freedom by subsidizing dictatorships, or to 'win the hearts and minds of the people' by poisoning their crops and burning their villages and confining them in concentration camps; we seek to uphold the 'truth' of our cause with lies, or to answer conscientious dissent with threats and slurs and intimidations. . . . I have come to the realization that I can no longer imagine a war that I would believe to be either useful or necessary. I would be against any war.

Berry delivered "A Statement Against the War in Vietnam" during the Kentucky Conference on the War and the Draft on February 10, 1968, at the University of Kentucky in Lexington.

do you have a favorite quote?
something he said or wrote that inspired you?

I really enjoyed all of his writings. I would say my favorite is Sex, Economy, Freedom & Community. One of my favorite quotes is in my signature line below.

Berry’s writing changed my life. What a life!
