Grain Quotes - Page 10

• The idea that a relatively fixed group of privileged people might shape the economy and government for their own benefit goes against the American grain. Nevertheless, the owners and top-level managers in large income-producing properties are far and away the dominant power figures in the United States. Their corporations, banks, and agribusinesses come together as a corporate community that dominates the federal government in Washington. Their real estate, construction, and land development companies form growth coalitions that dominate most local governments.

• It may indeed be doubted whether butchers' meet is anywhere a necessary of life. Grain and other vegetables, with the help of milk, cheese, and butter, or oil where butter is not to be had, afford the most plentiful, the most wholesome, the most nourishing, and the most invigorating diet. Decency nowhere requires that any man should eat butchers' meat.

• E'en in mid-harvest, while the jocund swain Pluck'd from the brittle stalk the golden grain, Oft have I seen the war of winds contend, And prone on earth th' infuriate storm descend, Waste far and wide, and by the roots uptorn, The heavy harvest sweep through ether borne, As light straw and rapid stubble fly In dark'ning whirlwinds round the wintry sky.

• It were good to know how much hay an acre of every sort will bear; how many cattle the same weight of each sort of hay will feed and fatten; what quantity of grain and other commodities the same acre will bear in one, three or seven years; unto what use each soil is proper; all which particulars I call intrinsic value, for there is also another value merely accidental or extrinsic.

• If you do not have a loving concern for the environment... it will no longer sustain you - you will not be worthy of it. You will not be destroying the planet, you see. You will not be destroying the birds, or the flowers, or the grain, or the animals... they will be destroying you.

• Every man will have his own criterion in forming his judgment of others. I depend very much on the effect of affliction. I consider how a man comes out of the furnace; gold will lie for a month in the furnace without losing a grain.

• I won't say my nutrition is perfect. If I'm at a restaurant and there's fresh pasta on the menu, I'm going to order it. At home, though, I avoid grains and do a lot of the cooking to control what our family eats.

• El modo de limpiar y plantar es talar los árboles, y quemar una vez lo que arda, luego cortarlos en longitudes adecuadas, enrollarlos en montones, y quemarlos de nuevo; luego, con una azada, plantar patatas donde se pueda llegar al suelo entre los tocones y los troncos carbonizados; para una primera cosecha las cenizas bastan como abono, y no es necesario azadonar el primer año. En el otoño, cortar, rodar, y quemar de nuevo, y así sucesivamente, hasta que la tierra esté limpia; y pronto estará lista para el grano, y para ser colocada.

• Nuestra relación con el alcohol es un holograma de cómo el ser humano se relaciona con el mundo natural. Cuando se llega a ese nivel de licor café -un destilado añejo de algo fermentado, grano que aprendimos a plantar y hacer crecer- es, en cierto modo, la mejor expresión de lo que el ser humano es capaz de hacer. Nadie más puede hacerlo. Y es delicioso.
