• Are we going to take the hands of the federal government completely off any effort to adjust the growing of national crops, and go right straight back to the old principle that every farmer is a lord of his own farm and can do anything he wants, raise anything, any old time, in any quantity, and sell any time he wants?

• A Song of the good green grass! A song no more of the city streets; A song of farms - a song of the soil of fields. A song with the smell of sun-dried hay, where the nimble pitchers handle the pitch-fork; A song tasting of new wheat, and of fresh-husk'd maize.

  Walt Whitman

• These are things I'd never seen before, they were very disturbing and they were very compelling to try and do something to change the situation for the animals. Farm animals are providing us with the food to stay alive, so I think we really owe them a decent life while they are alive.

• Vivo en la misma casa desde hace 25 años. No me he ido a comprar mansiones, ya sabes, aunque mi tema sea vivir... vivir en una mansión no le gustaría a mis lectores. Tengo que mantener viva mi credibilidad ante mis lectores, así que estamos en el mismo lugar. Sólo hago que ese lugar sea cada vez más agradable. Y... y eso es un secreto. Y la gente no lo sabe. La gente piensa, oh, ella vive en este lugar fabuloso, es el mismo lugar de siempre. Empezó como una granja, se convirtió en una granja, luego en un apartamento. Construí un muro, ayudó mucho. Pero es el mismo lugar, la misma naturaleza enraizada.

• I always think back to the original movies and to those quieter moments where Luke is out in A New Hope, and there are the two suns setting. It is the equivalent, basically, of a farm boy dying to get out of his small town and do something bigger. It's those kinds of universal themes that ground this whole thing in space.

• I was cleaning out the pigsty at a farm in Wales, where my mother had rented a room, when the results of my final school exam were handed to me by the postman, along with the news that I had a state scholarship to Oxford. I had waited for this letter for so many weeks that I had abandoned hope, deciding that I had failed ignominiously.

• No puedo menos de considerar como una bondad de quienes me gobiernan el que, por falta de riquezas pecuniarias, me hayan enclavado en esta mi región natal durante tanto tiempo y con tanta constancia, y me hayan hecho estudiar y amar cada vez más este rincón de la tierra. ¿Qué significaría en comparación un amor y un conocimiento escasos y difusos de toda la tierra, conseguidos vagando? La del viajero no es sino una condición estéril y sin consuelo. La riqueza no comprará a un hombre un hogar en la naturaleza, ni una granja allí. El hombre de negocios no se gana con sus negocios una residencia en la naturaleza, sino que más bien se desnaturaliza.

  Henry David Thoreau

• Así pues, la principal característica de la agricultura de la Naturaleza puede resumirse en pocas palabras. La Madre Tierra nunca intenta cultivar sin animales vivos; siempre cultiva cosechas mixtas; se toman grandes precauciones para preservar el suelo y evitar la erosión; los desechos vegetales y animales mezclados se convierten en humus; no hay residuos; los procesos de crecimiento y los procesos de descomposición se equilibran mutuamente; se toman amplias medidas para mantener grandes reservas de fertilidad; se pone el máximo cuidado en almacenar las precipitaciones; se deja que tanto las plantas como los animales se protejan contra las enfermedades.
