Wendell Berry Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: b. August 5, 1934
Birthday: August 5
I prayed like a man walking in a forest at night, feeling his way with his hands, at each step fearing to fall into pure bottomlessness forever. Prayer is like lying awake at night, afraid, with your head under the cover, hearing only the beating of your own heart.
