“We argued instead that being Deaf, the specific and particular way of being, was shaped powerfully by shared histories.
We had begun to write the first part of what we now understand as ‘the promise of culture.’ The concept of culture reframed for us the idea of being Deaf, and allowed us to explore Deaf people’s long tradition of language and history as a way of understanding their lives.”

“Philosophy is thus a place-based exercise. It comes from the body and the heart and is checked against shared experience. (Grandmother wisdom suspects the men who stay too long talking in the longhouse when they should be mending nets or something.”

“Yet there is no choice but to call for the ‘recovery of the commons’—and this in a modern world which doesn't quite realize what it has lost. Take back, like the night, that which is shared by all of us, that which is our larger being.”

“That's understandable: other animals might feel they are something different than ‘just animals’ too. But we must contemplate the shared ground of our common biological being before emphasizing the differences.”

“If agrarian, the line between the life of the fields and that of the village is not hard and fast. In any case, wilderness, in the sense of being the most inaccessible part of a given territory, is seen as a shared space that is both dangerous and magical, and a place to go for spiritual as well as economic reasons. The study of archaic and oral nature-literature is constantly enlarging the body of lore that all of us are heir to.”

“Men need, as much as they need clothes, a sense of dignity and of purpose; and therefore they need systems which protect and legitimize such a sense, and a language and clusters of concepts which enable them to share that sense with others and to receive from others the reassurance of awareness that the sense is shared and that one is not, as one had feared, naked and alone. . . . There is something affected, and pretentious, in claiming to despise the expression, in great numbers of human beings, of general human needs which the scoffer necessarily shares. . . .”
