Wendell Berry, farmer writer and philosopher, interviewed in the Fall 2015 issue of Modern Farmer:

People who talk for pleasure, as opposed to people who talk to communicate, become wonderful talkers over the years. They have eloquence. That whole thing of looking somebody straight in the eye and saying something—my goodness. What a fine thing. Who would want to miss it?

I loved this quote. But I can't figure out why Modern Farmer edited it one way for the print issue (as above), and another way for the online version. Sure, edited for space, but look at what they edited out for the print version:

That whole thing of looking somebody straight in the eye and saying something—my goodness. 'I love you,' right into somebody’s face, right into their eyes, what a fine thing. Who would want to miss it?
