Maker Quotes

“One of the strangest things is the act of creation.

You are faced with a blank slate—a page, a canvas, a block of stone or wood, a silent musical instrument.

You then look inside yourself. You pull and tug and squeeze and fish around for slippery raw shapeless things that swim like fish made of cloud vapor and fill you with living clamor. You latch onto something. And you bring it forth out of your head like Zeus giving birth to Athena.

And as it comes out, it takes shape and tangible form.

It drips on the canvas, and slides through your pen, it springs forth and resonates into the musical strings, and slips along the edge of the sculptor’s tool onto the surface of the wood or marble.

You have given it cohesion. You have brought forth something ordered and beautiful out of nothing.

You have glimpsed the divine.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

“The French perfected the clean, elegant line and the atelier approach to making clothing. The Italians were masters of the fine handwork needed for leather goods and tailoring. What America excelled at as the apparel business scaled up and industrialized in the early 20th century was mass-produced good-quality, hard-wearing clothes. American workwear and sportswear, like American cars, had a tough, overbuilt quality: the copper button fly on a pair of Levi's, the waxed cotton "tin cloth" that made Filson gear able to withstand wind, rain, and maybe even a blast of dynamite.”
― Steven Kurutz, American Flannel: How a Band of Entrepreneurs Are Bringing the Art and Business of Making Clothes Back Home
