Quote #6 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Economics and Social Issues
“The growing popularity of do-it-yourself kits and craft hobbies is evidence surely of a search to recapture something of the deep satisfaction enjoyed by the craftsmen of old that comes of mastering the material and creating with the hands. The pity of it is that such hobbies can be enjoyed only briefly after the day's work, or at week-ends, instead of being the daily work itself.”
