Never The Authors of Our Best Hope

Sometimes, (should be most times) I just have to let Wendell speak because he says it so damned well.

The conclusion to Wendell's, "Preface: The Joy of Sales Resistance". 

But however much I may change my mind, I will never agree with those saleswomen and salesmen who suggest that if I will only do as they say, all will be fine. All, dear reader, is not going to be fine. Even if we all agreed with all the saints and prophets, all would not be fine. For we would still be mortal, partial, suffering poor creatures, not very intelligent and never the authors of our best hope.

Yours sincerely,
Wendell Berry
