“Nothing is absolute. Everything changes, everything moves, everything revolves, everything flies and goes away.”

“I have come to believe that caring for myself is not self-indulgent. Caring for myself is an act of survival.”

“And I knew that the Spirit that had gone forth to shape the world and make it live was still alive in it. I just had no doubt. I could see that I lived in the created world, and it was still being created. I would be part of it forever. There was no escape. The Spirit that made it was in it, shaping it and reshaping it, sometimes lying at rest, sometimes standing up and shaking itself, like a muddy horse, and letting the pieces fly.”
― Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow
