Lace Quotes - Page 4

• With couture you have faithfulness - people are faithful to you. In couture, you will see that the cut looks like a lace dress from a distance, but it's only when you get nearer you understand that it's layers of lace, hand stitched in a certain shape, all the work - the zips, the buttons, the hooks... it goes on.

• As long as there are cold and nakedness in the land around you, so long can there be no question at all but that splendor of dress is a crime. In due time, when we have nothing better to set people to work at, it may be right to let them make lace and cut jewels; but as long as there are any who have no blankets for their beds, and no rags for their bodies, so long it is blanket-making and tailoring we must set people to work at, not lace.

  John Ruskin

• Es un milagro que el tejido de punto se componga únicamente de dos puntos: punto y revés. Por supuesto, hay que añadir algunas vueltas de hilo, y a veces se tejen los puntos fuera de orden, pero a la hora de la verdad, tejer es simplicidad. El chal de encaje más increíble... el aran más complicado... un humilde calcetín... todo se hace con punto y revés.

• Frank Gehry designs buildings that make other architects half his age (he's 78) gasp with envy. Neotony is what makes him lace up his skates and whirl around the ice rink, while visionary buildings come to life and dance in his head.

• Venerable are letters, infinitely brave, forlorn, and lost. Life would split asunder without them. 'Come to tea, come to dinner, what's the truth of the story? have you heard the news? life in the capital is wonderful; the Russian dancers....' These are our stays and props. These lace our days together and make of life a perfect globe.

• The clothes I wear... that doesn't change. I love long dresses. I love velvet. I love high boots. I never change. I love the same eye make-up. I'm not a fad person. I still have everything I had then. That's one part of me... that's where my songs come from. There's a song on the new Fleetwood Mac album [Mirage] that says, 'Going back to the velvet underground/back to the floor that I love,' because I always put my bed on the floor. 'To a room with some lace and paper flowers/ back to the gypsy that I was.'

• Me estremezco al pensarlo. Podría llevar cuellos de encaje y reírme con pétalos de flores y perlas. La gente podría intentar acariciarme. Veo que lo piensan. Mi estatura desencadena el reflejo del cachorro-gatito-debe tocar-y he descubierto que, como no puedes electrificarte como una valla, lo siguiente mejor es tener ojos de asesino.

• ¿Qué es tan gracioso?" "Tus bragas tienen un lazo", dijo. Miré hacia abajo. Llevaba una camiseta de tirantes corta -no era mía- y mis bragas azules con una estrecha tira blanca de encaje en la parte superior y un diminuto lazo blanco. ¿Me habría matado comprobar lo que llevaba antes de bajar la manta? "¿Qué tienen de malo los lazos?". "Nada. Ahora sonreía. "Esperaba alambre de espino. O una de esas cadenas de acero". Sabelotodo. "Estoy lo suficientemente segura de mí misma como para llevar bragas con lazos. Además, son cómodas y suaves". "Ya lo creo.

• But countless studies have shown that a cue and a reward, on their own, aren't enough for a new habit to last. Only when your brain starts expecting the reward--craving the endorphins or sense of accomplishment--will it become automatic to lace up your jogging shoes each morning. The cue, in addition to triggering a routine, must also trigger a craving for the reward to come.
