"If you desire peace, cultivate justice, but at the same time cultivate the field to produce more food; otherwise there will be no peace."
"Small-scale farmers deserve to be at the top of your list of environmental superheroes."
"I began to realise how important it is in life to be an enthusiast. If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it, and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good."
"Nothing is ever going to matter as much to that exquisite heart of yours as that which you achieve with your ingenious mind, a fuckload of imagination, and your restless creative hands."
"It's hard to go. It's scary and lonely. And half the time you'll be wondering why the hell you're in Cincinnati or Mongolia (or Pakistan or Papua New Guinea!) or wherever you're melodious life takes you. There will be boondoggles and discombobulated days, freaked-out nights and metaphorical flat tires. But it will be soul-smashingly beautiful. It will open up your life."
"You choose it.
You choose it every damn day.
You wake up,
ask yourself the same question:
is this really worth it?
The answer is your breakfast.
The answer is your functioning heart.
The answer becomes your life.
It never gets easy
but instead, simpler.
And your answer gets louder.
So you choose it every day,
until it's no longer a choice,
until it's no longer a question."
- Norman Borlaug
