Maker Quotes
What it means to make something, from verse to policy to repair.
These maker quotes treat the word broadly, calling a poet a maker of verbal objects in one breath and, in another, drawing a sharp line between implementing policy and actually making it. A father remembered as an incurable tinkerer rounds out the theme. See Film quotes for the filmmaking side of the word.
My father, an architectural photographer, was an incurable tinkerer, maker and mender.
