Humans, like all other creatures, must make a difference; otherwise, they cannot live. But unlike other creatures, humans must make a choice as to the kind and scale of difference they make. If they choose to make too small a difference, they diminish their humanity. If they choose to make too great a difference, they diminish nature, and narrow their subsequent choices; ultimately, they diminish or destroy themselves. Nature, then, is not only our source but also our limit and measure.

Wendell Berry, “Getting Along With Nature,” 1987

Since reading this quote I can't stop thinking about it.
Every word he says is stop on, & I agree with this passage entirely.
I love Wendell Berry's writing as well as his mind.
Moving forward I will try to remember these words on a daily basis as a constant to live by.
