Rachel Joyce
“She had travelled to the other side of the world, but the distance she'd covered inside herself was immeasurable.”
Rachel Joyce, Miss Benson's Beetle

Rachel Joyce
“It struck her again: a life was such a short thing. All those things people carried, and struggled to carry, yet one day they would disappear, and so would the suffering inside them, and all that would be left was this. The trees, the moon, the dark.”
Rachel Joyce, Miss Benson's Beetle

“In the workshop, wishing won't make it so. The craftsman is forced to come to terms with the physical properties of materials, the mechanical properties of tools, and the real capacity and limits of his own dexterity, discipline and imagination. In this way, craft's materiality imposes cooperation on the sometimes discordant factions of the mind. By necessity, it reconciles the desire to interpret the world in ways that are emotionally gratifying with the countervailing need for accurate information to facilitate effective decisions. Thus the holistic quality of craft lies not only in engaging the whole person but also in harmonising his understanding of himself in the world.”
Peter Korn, Why We Make Things and Why It Matters: The Education of a Craftsman

Rachel Joyce
“And, after all, what did it mean? Home? Suppose it was not the place you came from, but a thing you carried with you, like a suitcase. And you could lose your suitcase, she knew that now. You could open another person’s luggage, and put on their clothes, and though you might feel different at first, out of your depth, something inside you was the same, and even a little more true to itself, a little more free.”
Rachel Joyce, Miss Benson's Beetle

“when we stop knowing how to use our hands to meet our most basic needs—we become estranged from nature, from the value and meaning of things, and from the empathy that we need to care for one another and our world.”
Melanie Falick, Making a Life: Working by Hand and Discovering the Life You Are Meant to Live
