"Wherever we live, however we do so, we desperately need a prophet of responsibility; and although the days of the prophets seem past to many of us, Berry may be the closest to one we have. But, fortunately, he is also a poet of responsibility. He makes one believe that the good life may not only be harder than what we're used to but sweeter as well."--"The New York Review of Books"
"A London doctor on television recently defined an eccentric as one who tries to make people happy and wants the world to be a better place. By this measure Well Berry is a born eccentric who, faced with an ailing world, offers his services to help people be happy in it."--"The New York Times Book Review"
