Spirit and practice are inseparable (Berry)
August 5th, 2008 | Published in Philosophy, Quotes, Religion, Work
For human beings the spiritual and the practical are, and should be, inseparable. Alone, practicality becomes dangerous; spirituality, alone, becomes feeble and pointless. Alone, either becomes dull. Each is the other’s discipline, in a sense, and in good work the two are joined.
—Wendell Berry, “Preserving Wilderness” in Home Economics (1986), p. 145.
