“Wanting to reform everything is the same thing as wanting to destroy everything.”

"Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front" http://www.context.org/ICLIB/IC30/Berry.htm in Farming: A Hand Book (1970). <br class="br">Poems <br class="br">Context: Love the quick profit, the annual raise,<br>vacation with pay. Want more<br>of everything ready-made. Be afraid<br>to know your neighbors and to die.<br>And you will have a window in your head.<br>Not even your future will be a mystery<br>any more. Your mind will be punched in a card<br>and shut away in a little drawer.<br>When they want you to buy something<br>they will call you. When they want you<br>to die for profit they will let you know. So, friends, every day do something<br>that won't compute. Love the Lord.<br>Love the world. Work for nothing.<br>Take all that you have and be poor.<br>Love someone who does not deserve it.<br>Denounce the government and embrace<br>the flag. Hope to live in that free<br>republic for which it stands.<br>Give your approval to all you cannot<br>understand. Praise ignorance, for what man<br>has not encountered he has not destroyed.
“Love is the substance of all life. Everything is connected in love, absolutely everything.”
