“Every year, Grandma Dickerson, my mom’s mother, made all the traditional sweets for Christmas time, but she made something not exactly “Christmasy” that became my favorite. Popcorn balls. She always prepared all those goodies before we arrived, so I never got to make them with her, and I never found out how she made them.”
Larada Horner-Miller, Hair on Fire: A Heartwarming & Humorous Christmas Memoir

Soetsu Yanagi
“Io credo che il lavoro manuale sia così essenziale, così naturale, che il bisogno irresistibile di farvi ricorso non cesserà mai di manifestarsi. Inoltre la caratteristica intrinseca dell'opera artigianale è quella di mantenere un contatto vivo e costante col cuore dell'uomo, e così il lavoro acquista una qualità umana. Tutto ciò che nasce dalla macchina è figlio del cervello e quindi manca di umanità.”
Soetsu Yanagi, The Unknown Craftsman: A Japanese Insight into Beauty
