“Don't be ashamed to weep; 'tis right to grieve. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water. But there must be sunlight also. A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does, the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us.” ~Brian Jacques, Redwall

Masanobu Fukuoka Quotes


“Teachers break time up into teaching slots, saying, 'Today we will have a poetry hour, a music hour and a social studies hour.' That is when the eyes, ears and voices of the children fall apart. The birds that seen at first by the children were sacred birds, a harmonious unity of truth, virtue, and beauty [they become] biological objects ... and the minds of the children become ripped apart into a thousand pieces. When the mind of the child is dissected, the sacred birds within the child’s mind are dissected and cease to be.” ~Masanobu Fukuoka, Japanese farmer and philosopher celebrated for his natural farming and re-vegetation of desertified lands.

"The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings." ~Masanobu Fukuoka
