From Molly Peacock's essay, "Passion Flowers in Winter" (in The Best American Essays 2007), about the remarkable 18th-century botanical collage artist Mrs. Delany:
". . . a life's work is always largely unfinished, and it requires creativity till the day a person dies."

"The best thing about a handmade
          pattern
is the flaw."
