“If a story is funny, and I made it up, then the big message is, `Aren't I clever?' .. If a story is funny and it actually happened, the big message is, `Isn't the world funny?'

I kind of want to think that about the world -- and it sounds less like boasting.” IfsThinkingWorldWantKindMadeStoriesBigsSoundHappenedMessagesCleverMade ItBoastCleverness Author:Dave Gorman
“A plain sock by itself is terribly boring, but it could score points by having a clever stitch pattern, or maybe by being made out of a very beautiful yarn that's an enchantment to work with. (Sadly, it is still infuriatingly true that being beautiful without being clever is almost worth more points than being clever without being beautiful, but such are the rules of life and knitting-they are cruel, but there anyway).” MadeStillsBeautifulPatternsBoringCleverScoreSockVery BeautifulEnchantmentKnittingBeing BeautifulStitchesRules Of LifeYarn Book:All Wound Up: The Yarn Harlot Writes for a Spin Source: All Wound Up: The Yarn Harlot Writes for a Spin
