“The textile and needlework arts of the world, primarily because they have been the work of women have been especially written out of art history. It is a male idea that to be “high” and “fine” both women and art should be beautiful, but not useful or functional.”
—Patricia Mainardi (b. 1942)

“Many writers who choose to be active in the world lose not virtue but time, and that stillness without which literature cannot be made.”
