Quotes by Dore Ashton (?)

“The idea of making is the first and the most human of ideas. To 'explain' is always only to describe a manner of making; it is merely to remake by thought. The Why and the How which are simply expressions for what this idea requires, arise in every context, and insist on being satisfied at any price.”
― Ashton Dore
