• To have good farming or good land use of any kind, you have got to have limits. Capitalism doesn't acknowledge limits.

• Un autor que describa los métodos de la agricultura intensiva, o los excesos de la caza deportiva, o incluso los usos más crueles de los animales en la ciencia, escribe con la seguridad de que la mayoría de los lectores compartirán su sentimiento de preocupación e indignación. Hacer un llamamiento a la acción -convencer a la gente de que el cambio no sólo es necesario, sino realmente posible- es más problemático. Para proteger a los animales de la crueldad, siempre hay que dar un paso de la corriente dominante a la marginal. Condenar el mal es obvio, sugerir su abolición es radical.

• There is a very strong deal for our farmers to start with. So from the export of farming, which is being looked at to make up some of the lost ground from the resources boom, to just about every area.

• My advice to anyone who wants to join in on farming is diversify. Nature is diversified, and I know you'll always have a core thing that you'll really like, but hang stuff around the edges of it. It will make your place more interesting for people to come to, and it's a lot easier to sell something else to an existing customer.

• En muchos países en desarrollo, las niñas no van a la escuela. Se quedan en casa. Están en los pozos, llevando y trayendo agua a la aldea. O hacen tareas domésticas, preparan la comida, cultivan la tierra. Algunas culturas piensan que las niñas y las mujeres no deben recibir educación, y esos son a menudo los lugares donde el trato a las mujeres y las niñas es peor.

• The dance is the most universal of the arts, since, as Goethe justly said, it could destroy all the fine arts. It is an expression of all the emotions of the spirit, from the lowest to the highest. It accompanies and stimulates all the processes of life, from hunting and farming to war and fertility, from love to death. It enables, in turn other arts to come into being: music, song, drama. Despite all their riches, the dance is no formless complex, but a simple unity.

• Mi padre era criador. La mayor parte de su trabajo se realizaba en pequeñas parcelas de prueba y no requería mucha mano de obra. Intentó cultivarlas durante un tiempo y se dio cuenta de que la agricultura es dura. Es brutalmente duro. No teníamos el interés o la fortaleza para cultivar.

• I don't understand the notion that modern farming is anything do to with nature. It's a pretty gross interference with nature. I think it ought to be governed by the standards of how it affects the individual animals, just as we'd want to deal with institutions that deal with humans by how they affect individual humans.

• Once women invented farming, and began to keep and breed animals, they discovered the crucial function of the rooster and the henhouse. Fathers suddenly gained a function, and could do what only women had been able to do for all those millions of years--point at a child and say, "That is my son," "That is my daughter." Patriarchy quickly followed, beginning about five thousand years ago; a very short time in the development of our species, but covering all of recorded history.

• Women have an important role in agriculture. We need to introduce technology, which will help us harness the potential of women in agriculture. We need to divide the agriculture sector into three parts- regular farming, farming of trees and animal husbandry. If we are able to do this, the contribution of our women will increase even more.

• The life of the earth comes up with a rush in the springtime. All the wild seeds of weed and thistle, the sprouts of vine and bush and tree, are trying to take the fields. Farmers must fight them with harrow and plow and hoe; they must plant the good seeds quickly.

• [My father] did get enough money to buy mules. We didn't have tractors, but he bought mules, wagons, cultivators and some farming equipment. As soon as he bought that and decided to rent some land, because it was always better if you rent the land, but as soon as he got the mules and wagons and everything, somebody went to our trough - a white man who didn't live very far from us - and he fed the mules Paris Green, put it in their food and it killed the mules and our cows.

• You go to towns in Massachusetts, Greenfield, first settled in 1686. Wouldn’t it be cool if it said, “Greenfield. First settled c. 13,000 B.P. or approximately 13,000 Before the Present. Resettled.” Maybe we could say even, “Resettled by whites,” Or, “Resettled anyway, 1686.” It would have a different impact. And of course it would help explain why the town is called Greenfield, because it was a green field and the fields were left by Native people who had already been farming them.

• Tenemos que crear más y más vegetarianos, y ayudar a la gente a entender que no es sólo el sufrimiento de los animales (que es lo que me hizo vegetariano), sino también el increíble daño al medio ambiente, la tremenda cantidad de gases de efecto invernadero creados por toda la vasta maquinaria de la cría intensiva de animales.

• El deporte es una metáfora seductora (la vida como un juego en el que obtenemos la victoria mediante el trabajo duro, la disciplina y la visualización del éxito). pero la metáfora más antigua de la agricultura (la vida como un trabajo duro que está sujeto al clima y a caprichos del destino ciego y que puede no reportar recompensa alguna y no te sorprendas) sigue en nuestra sangre.
