Quotes by Alex Langlands  (?)

“I’ve always thought that creating machines for tasks we could just as easily accomplish ourselves is unforgiveable – the battery-powered pepper mill comes in for particularly venomous scorn in our household. It’s a potent symbol of a society that’s going backwards.”
Alexander Langlands, Cræft: An Inquiry Into the Origins and True Meaning of Traditional Crafts

“As with any livestock, as soon as methods become commercial the risk of disease rises.”
Alexander Langlands, Cræft: An Inquiry Into the Origins and True Meaning of Traditional Crafts

“We spend millions on monuments and memorials celebrating the legacy of elite national heroes, yet when it comes to a craft so intimately bound up with our landscape story and rural ancestry only the dogged enthusiasm of a few dedicated fanatics keeps it alive.”
Alex Langlands, Cræft: An Inquiry Into the Origins and True Meaning of Traditional Crafts
