"There was one man who, performing what was for him merely daily routine tasks, implanted in me an awesome respect for skill, a feeling for the potentialities of paper... he was the village grocer. In my eyes, his supreme accomplishment was the mastery with which he weighed and wrapped the products he purveyed. Standing before the glinting brass scales, he would tip candies from a glass jar and then, without even turning round he would reach for one of the squares of paper already cut and stacked on the shelf behind him. With a quick flip he would turn it from corner to corner around his right hand to form a cone, at the same time twisting the tip of the cone with his left, all as if it were in one flowing movement" Trevor Thomas
