Howard Mansfield Quotes

I Was Trying To Discover Examples Of A Living Restoration, Trying To Go Beyond Discussions About Correct Historic Colors, Materials, And Techniques.
I Looked To The Past For Guidance, To Find The Graces We Need To Save. I Want To Be An Importer. This Is Not Nostalgia; I Am Not Nostalgic. I Am Not Looking For A Way Back. "From Where Will A Renewal Come To Us, To Us Who Have Devastated The Whole Earthly Globe?" Asked Simone Weil. "Only From The Past If We Love It."
What I Am Looking For Is The Trick Of Having The Same Ax Twice, For A Restoration That Renews The Spirit, For Work That Transforms The Worker. We May Talk Of Saving Antique Linens, Species, Or Languages; But Whatever We Are Intent On Saving, When A Restoration Succeeds, We Rescue Ourselves.
