James Joyce
“The movements which work revolutions in the world are born out of the dreams and visions in a peasant's heart on the hillside. For them the earth is not an exploitable ground but the living mother.” James Joyce, Ulysses
Bertrand Russell
“But with the introduction of agriculture mankind entered upon a long period of meanness, misery, and madness, from which they are only now being freed by the beneficent operation of the machine.” Bertrand Russell, The Conquest of Happiness
Calvin Coolidge
“A decrease in the world supply of wheat has resulted in a very large increase in the price of that commodity. The position of all agricultural products indicates a better balanced supply, but we can not yet conclude that agriculture is recovered...” Calvin Coolidge, State of the Union Address
