Kathryn Joosten: Old Lady God

Quotes 

• Joan Girardi : Are you going to give me a sticker that says "inspected by God"?

  Old Lady God : Just admiring.

  Joan Girardi : Yeah, well, I really messed up this part. I dropped a stitch and purled when I should've knitted.

  Old Lady God : It's hard starting over, isn't it?

  Joan Girardi : [shrugging]  Yeah, but the book says it's okay to drop a stitch every now and then.

  Old Lady God : Well, it's the imperfections that make it unique.

  Joan Girardi : Then I'm definitely unique.

• Old Lady God : The Persians make the most beautiful rugs in the world, not that I play favorites, but on each rug, no matter how intricate and exquisite, the artist makes sure there's some small defect. It's called a Persian flaw. It's... it's a recognition that perfection exists only in me, an acceptance that life can never really be lived exactly the way you expect. I love the colors. Good night.
