weaving

«Each person has his own safe place-running, painting, swimming, fishing, weaving, gardening. The activity itself is less important than the act of drawing on your own resources.»
«Do you not know that there comes a midnight hour when every one has to throw off his mask? Do you believe that life will always let itself be mocked? Do you think you can slip away a little before midnight in order to avoid this? Or are you not terrified by it? I have seen men in real life who so long deceived others that at last their true nature could not reveal itself;... In every man there is something which to a certain degree prevents him from becoming perfectly transparent to himself; and this may be the case in so high a degree, he may be so inexplicably woven into relationships of life which extend far beyond himself that he almost cannot reveal himself. But he who cannot reveal himself cannot love, and he who cannot love is the most unhappy man of all.»
«Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive»
«Marriage is an Athenic weaving together of families, of two souls with their individual fates and destinies, of time and eternity - everyday life married to the timeless mysteries of the soul.»
«No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.»
«Oh, what a tangled web do parents weave, when they think their children are na?ve.»
«He who is false to the present duty breaks a thread in the loom, and you will see the effect when the weaving of a life-time is unraveled»
«Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together.»
«A woman's hopes are woven of sunbeams; a shadow annihilates them»
«Life is too precious to be spent in this weaving and unweaving of false impressions, and it is better to live quietly under some degree of misrepresentation than to attempt to remove it by the uncertain process of letter-writing.»
