"We are not choosing between a possible peasant and a successful commercial way of life. What we are choosing between is the peasant way of life, which may be possible, and the commercial one, which has already failed. We don't intend to lure people from a thriving business to some kind of idyllic vacation or a peasant-type utopia. We are trying to make a proposal for a fresh start after an experiment that was already doomed to fail.

""Nem egy lehetséges paraszti és egy sikeres kereskedelmi életforma között választunk. Ami között választunk, az a paraszti életforma, amely esetleg megvalósulhat, és a kereskedelmi, amely már megbukott. Nem egy viruló üzletből szándékozunk elcsábítani az embereket valamiféle idilli nyaralásra vagy egy paraszti típusú utópiába. Mi az újrakezdésre próbálunk javaslatot tenni, miután egy eleve csődre ítélt kísérlet csődbe fulladt."
