  • You can set up an altar to God in your minds by means of prayer. And so it is fitting to pray at your trade, on a journey, standing at a counter or sitting at your handicraft.

  • When profits are pursued by geographic interchange of goods, so that commerce for profit becomes the central mechanism of the system, we usually call it "commercial capitalism." In such a system goods are conveyed from ares where they are more common (and therefore cheaper) to areas where they are less common (and therefore less cheap). This process leads to regional specialization and to division of labor, both in agricultural production and in handicrafts.

    "The Evolution of Civilizations". Book by Carroll Quigley, Second Edition 1979, Chapter 8, Canaanite and Minooan Civilizations, p. 241, 1961.

  • Women have always collected things and saved and recycled them because leftovers yielded nourishment in new forms. The decorative functional objects women made often spoke in a secret language, bore a covert imagery. When we read these images in needlework, in paintings, in quilts, rugs and scrapbooks, we sometimes find a cry for help, sometimes an allusion to a secret political alignment, sometimes a moving symbol about the relationships between men and women.

    Miriam Schapiro (1985). “Miriam Schapiro: Femmages, 1971-1985 : Brentwood Gallery, 1221 South Brentwood Boulevard, St. Louis, Missouri 63117 : May 17-June 30, 1985”
  • Eventhough you are not equipped, keep searching: equipment isn't necessary on the way to the Lord. Whoever you see engaged in search, become her friend and cast your head in front of her, for choosing to be a neighbour of seekers, you become one yourself; protected by conquerors, you will yourself learn to conquer. If an ant seeks the rank of Solomon, don't smile contemptuously upon its quest. And of all your skills, and wealth and handicraft, Weren't they first merely a thought and a quest?

  • It did not look like the work of God, but it might have represented the handicraft of a God with a joyous sense of humor, a dancing God who loved mischief as much as prayer, and playfulness as much as mischief.

    Prayer   Dancing   Looks  
    Pat Conroy (2010). “South of Broad”, p.202, Atlantic Books Ltd
  • Poverty when coupled with creativeness is usually free of frustration. This is true of the poor artisan skilled in his trade and of the poor writer, artist, and scientist in the full possession of creative powers. Nothing so bolsters our self-confidence and reconciles us with ourselves as the continuous ability to create; to see things grow and develop under our hand, day in, day out. The decline of handicrafts in modern times is perhaps one of the causes for the rise of frustration and the increased susceptibility of the individual to mass movements.

    Eric Hoffer (1980). “The True Believer”
  • Were I asked to define it, I should reply that archeology is that science which enables us to register and classify our knowledge of the sum of man's achievement in those arts and handicrafts whereby he has, in time past, signalized his passage from barbarism to civilization.

    Art   Knowledge   Science

    Interview with David Barsamian, www.sharedhost.progressive.org. September 29, 2011.
  • Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.

    'What is Art?' (1898) ch. 19 (translated by Maude)
  • To have much learning, to be skillful in handicraft, well-trained in discipline, and to be of good speech -- this is the greatest blessing.

  • Television has lifted the manufacture of banality out of the sphere of handicraft and placed it in that of a major industry.

    Times Literary Supplement 10 June 1960
  • The notion of education through handicrafts rises from the contemplation of truth and love permeating life's activities.

    Mahatma Gandhi (1967). “The Mind of Mahatma Gandhi”, p.395, Rajpal & Sons
  • Mass production is only profitable if its rhythm can be maintained.. that is, if it can continue to sell its product in steady or increasing quantity. The result is that while, under the handicraft or small-unit system of production that was typical a century ago, demand created the supply, today supply must actively seek to create its corresponding demand.

    Typical   Demand   Today  
    Edward Bernays (2017). “Propaganda”, p.46, Lulu.com
