Country things are the necessary root of our life; and that remains true even of a rootless and tragically urban civilization. To live permanently away from the country is a form of slow death. ~Esther Meynell
It’s unexplainable, this push-pull of city and country life. ~Angeline Muñoz
Man is rated the highest animal, at least among all animals that returned the questionnaire. ~Robert Brault
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. ~E.B. White

There’s someting magical about being in the countryside. Quiet, simple, beautiful. Somehow, it reminds me of the place I grew up and all the wonderful childhood memories. Thanks.

Love this post. Love the quotes! And I, too, am caught in the push-pull of city and country life. I love both!

Thanks so much, c. Your farm sounds like a lovely place to live. I truly love being out in the country, which is definitely proven when we return home from being in the city, and my soul almost yells out “ahhhhh……peace”. The city is a wonderful place to visit, but I’m not sure I could live there again, either.
I subscribe to The Sun Magazine, and this month’s edition has this wonderful collection of quotes. I snapped the photos from the car as we drove down the interstate towards home.

The topics are varied month to month. This one had a focus on country with one photo spread, that is great, and then the “Sunbeams” page with some of the quotes I used.
