- Wendell Berry

About this Quote

This quote by Wendell Berry is a reminder that we are not the only ones affected by our decisions and actions. Nature is also a part of the equation, and it has a greater impact than we do. Nature has more votes, meaning that its viewpoint carries more weight than ours. It likewise has a longer memory, so it keeps in mind the effects of our choices long after we have actually forgotten them. Lastly, Nature has a sterner sense of justice, meaning that it will not be forgiving if we do not take its opinion into account. This quote serves as a tip that we should take Nature into consideration when making decisions, as it will eventually have the last word.
