Wendell Berry Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: b. August 5, 1934
Birthday: August 5
Our destruction of nature is not just bad stewardship, or stupid economics, or a betrayal of family responsibility; it is the most horrid blasphemy. It is flinging God's gifts into His face, as if they were of no worth beyond that assigned to them by our destruction of them.
