“I do not particularly like the word 'work.' Human beings are the only ...” — Masanobu Fukuoka Quote

“I do not particularly like the word 'work.' Human beings are the only animals who have to work, and I think that is the most ridiculous thing in the world. Other animals make their livings by living, but people work like crazy, thinking that they have to in order to stay alive. The bigger the job, the greater the challenge, the more wonderful they think it is. It would be good to give up that way of thinking and live an easy, comfortable life with plenty of free time. I think that the way animals live in the tropics, stepping outside in the morning and evening to see if there is something to eat, and taking a long nap in the afternoon, must be a wonderful life. For human beings, a life of such simplicity would be possible if one worked to produce directly his daily necessities. In such a life, work is not work as people generally think of it, but simply doing what needs to be done.”

“Ignorance, hatred and greed are killing nature.”

“As we kill nature, we are killing ourselves, and God incarnate as the world as well.”

“There is no time in modern agriculture for a farmer to write a poem or compose a song.”

“The simple hearth of the small farm is the true center of our universe.”

“- В Апокалипсиса ангелът се кълне, че вече няма да има време.”

“Time, like a relentless tide, eroded even the most profound truths.”

“When we feel lost in time, with only shadows of the past living in our mind; when the moment, which “was", no longer "is” and when only silence remains, loads of questions arise. We can cry a river or we may wonder: “What went wrong?”

“If you think you don’t have enough time to work out remind yourself that there is no better way to make more time than increasing your chances of living longer.”

“There will be time to sleep, right now, your love is all the rest I need.”

“She has fallen madly”
