• Some women don't care how their quilts look. They piece the squares together any sort of way, but she couldn't stand careless sewing. She wanted her quilts, and Joy's, made right. Quilts stay a long time after people are gone from this world, and witness about them for good or bad. She wanted people to see, when she was gone, that she'd never been a shiftless or don't-care woman.

• Oigo que en muchos lugares algo le ha pasado a la Navidad; que está pasando de ser una época de alegría y despreocupación a una fiesta llena de tedio; que mucha gente teme este día y que la obligación de hacer regalos de Navidad es una pesadilla para las almas cansadas y aburridas; que los hijos de padres ilustrados ya no creen en Papá Noel; que, en definitiva, el esfuerzo por ser felices y tener placer hace que muchos corazones honrados se oscurezcan de desesperación en lugar de brillar de buena voluntad y alegría.
