...We must also realize-students, teachers, and laymen alike-that even when we have accomplished the task that lies before us, we will not have accomplished the whole task.

Joyce Carol Oates

We will begin to understand and to mistrust and to change our wasteful economy, which markets not just the produce of earth, but also... Wendell Berry
