How much of my time is spent thinking about style, fashion, clothing, decorating, fabrics, pattern, quilting…. So what if those are ungrand concerns, “feminine” concerns…. the visual statements that have moved me—many of them—were made from small ideas, unpretentious ones that were big after all.

Christina Ramberg, in diary entry from 1979 quoted by Susan Tallman in "The Sneaky Sublime," The New York Review, 8/15/2024.
