You have been given questions to which you cannot be given answers. You will have to live them out - perhaps a little at a time.' And how long is that going to take?' I don't know. As long as you live, perhaps.' That could be a long time.' I will tell you a further mystery,' he said. 'It may take longer. Wendell Berry
Wendell Berry quote: "If you don't know where you're from, you'll have a hard time..."
If you don't know where you're from, you'll have a hard time saying where you're going. Wendell Berry
