“In the moonlight the artist came to see that the mittens worn by this little man were more like the paws of an animal. It almost made sense to the artist to have thought that the little man's hands were actually paws which had only appeared to be two black mittens. Then each of the paws separated into long thin fingers that wriggled wildly in the moonlight. But they could not have been the fingers of a hand, because there were too many of them. So what appeared to be fingers could not have been fingers, just as the hands were not in fact hands nor the paws really paws - no more than they were mittens.”
― Thomas Ligotti, Teatro Grottesco

“This was the time when Mother usually did her knitting. With ten children in the family, she didn't have time to knit more than one pair of mittens a year for each of them, so she gave the mittens to them at Christmas. The children never asked who the mittens were for, even though they watched each one grow. Some had stripes of bright color and some had little patterns, and of course some were big and some were small.”
― Lee Kingman, The Best Christmas

“Viva the mitten with wriggle room over the glove where form follows function!”
― Robert Venturi, Architecture as Signs and Systems: For a Mannerist Time

“A smile parted between her lips, peering at Julius flopping about in his uncle’s arms. Dianna couldn’t help but let out a light chuckle. One of the little boy’s mittens dangled by a thread from the sleeve of his jacket while Roland danced about, trying to remove his boots without waking Julius up.”
― Ardin Patterson, Feral
