"If change is to come... it will have to come from the outside. It will have to come from the margins... this sort of change is a dominant theme of our tradition, whose "central figures" have often worked their way inward from the margins. It was the desert, not the temple, that gave us the prophets." - Wendell Berry

what are you reading by WB?
also from Berry:
"Our model citizen is a sophisticate who, before puberty, understands
how to produce a baby, but who at the age of thirty will not know how
to produce a potato."
- A Continuous Harmony, 1972
