Quotes by Edmund de Waal

“He stands with his hands in his pockets, well-dressed and self-assured, with his life before him and a plush armchair behind him.”
― Edmund de Waal, The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Family's Century of Art and Loss

“Yangi, a philosopher, art historian and poet, had evolved a theory of why some objects - pots, baskets, cloth made by unknown crafstmen - were so beautiful. In his view, they expressed unconscious beauty because they had been made in such numbers that the craftsman had been liberated from his ego. The Hare with the Amber Eyes, 2010, p. 5.”
