Jim Rohn | Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present. | 101 |
Ivanka Trump | In both business and personal life, I've always found that travel inspires me more than anything else I do. Evidence of the languages, cultures, scenery, food, and design sensibilities that I discover all over the world can be found in every piece of my jewelry. | 101 |
Ai Weiwei | Everyone wants an iPhone, but it would be impossible to design an iPhone in China because it's not a product; it's an understanding of human nature. | 101 |
Charles Eames | Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects. The quality of the connections is the key to quality per se. | 101 |
Dieter Rams | Good design is making something intelligible and memorable. Great design is making something memorable and meaningful. | 101 |
Fred Davis | Whenever I design any variant, or when anybody sends me one, I always say if at all possible within the context of the game don't have two home supply centers touching each other. | 101 |
Ian Schrager | Good design is good business. | 101 |
Isambard K. Brunel | I am going to design... a Station after my own fancy; that is, with engineering roofs, etc. | 101 |
Norman Foster | As an architect, you design for the present, with an awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown. | 101 |
Paul Rand | Design is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions; there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated. | 101 |
Philip Johnson | Architecture is basically the design of interiors, the art of organizing interior space. | 101 |
Quinn Shephard | I'd like mostly stuff for design, because I like to design clothing. | 101 |
Ralph Lauren | I don't design clothes, I design dreams. | 101 |
Stefan Sagmeister | I originally had opened the studio in New York to combine my two loves, music and design. And we created videos and packaging for many musicians that you know, and for even more that you've never heard of. As I realized, just like with many, many things in my life that I actually love, I adapt to it. And I get, over time, bored by them. | 101 |
Stephen Gardiner | Good buildings come from good people, and all problems are solved by good design. | 101 |
Thomas J. Watson | Good design is good business. | 101 |
Victor Papanek | There are professions more harmful than industrial design, but only a few. | 101 |
Yves Behar | Design is a tool that either allows us to create new markets or disrupt existing ones. | 101 |
Zeresenay Alemseged | I learned that the first technology appeared in the form of stone tools, 2.6 million years ago. First entertainment comes evidence from flutes that are 35,000 years old. And evidence for first design comes 75,000 years old - beads. And you can do the same with your genes and track them back in time. | 101 |
David Carson | I'm a big believer in the emotion of design, and the message that's sent before somebody begins to read, before they get the rest of the information; what is the emotional response they get to the product, to the story, to the painting - whatever it is. | 101 |
David McCandless | Information design has been around since the 1970s. Pioneers like Yale University design guru Edward Tufte and design agency Pentagram have long known and used its power. But now with the rise of the Internet, it's having something of a second birth. | 101 |
David McFadden | Outside of the chair, the teapot is the most ubiquitous and important design element in the domestic environment and almost everyone who has tackled the world of design has ended up designing one. | 101 |
Eric Maskin | Leo Hurwicz is the father of mechanism design theory and has inspired much of my work, and Roger Myerson is an old friend and collaborator and a tremendous economist. | 101 |
Ivan Chermayeff | Design is directed toward human beings. To design is to solve human problems by identifying them and executing the best solution. | 101 |
James Wan | For me, the sound design and the musical score is a big part of what makes scary movies work. | 101 |
Lapo Elkann | Tiles, the best furniture, fabrics, bath fixtures, bronze - just leaf through any design magazine and you immediately understand they're all 'Made in Italy.' We have the premier opera house in the world, La Scala, and behind the Nobel given to CERN is the research of many Italians. | 101 |
Milton Glaser | To design is to communicate clearly by whatever means you can control or master. | 101 |
Roberto Cavalli | Leopard is an animal design, and my designs come from nature. | 101 |
Seal | I like to think that the Internet and file sharing, if utilized properly and embraced, and I emphasize properly, is a high-powered marketing design. | 101 |
William McDonough | Design is inherently optimistic. That is its power. | 101 |
Ed Westwick | I think gardens are fantastic, and I'd love to draw and design and stuff like that. I love just planting flowers during the summer. There's something very humble about it, and natural and beautiful. | 101 |
Eric Carle | That's something I learned in art school. I studied graphic design in Germany, and my professor emphasized the responsibility that designers and illustrators have towards the people they create things for. | 101 |
Eva Zeisel | I don't like to design single objects. I like my pieces to have a relationship to each other. They can be mother and child, like the Schmoo salt and pepper shakers, or brother and sister like the Birdie salt and peppers, or cousins, like most of my dinnerware sets. | 101 |
Freeman Thomas | Good design begins with honesty, asks tough questions, comes from collaboration and from trusting your intuition. | 101 |
Gianfranco Ferre | As an architect, I learned to think and express myself on flat forms, on paper, and to imagine the contour of the lines of a design. | 101 |
Ginny Brown-Waite | Through the harsh design of fate, Florida was dealt the unfortunate circumstances of bearing the brunt of not one but two hurricanes, and it appears more dark clouds are poised to visit the Sunshine State. | 101 |
Harry Seidler | Good design doesn't date. | 101 |
Kent Beck | Design should be easy in the sense that every step should be obviously and clearly identifiable. Simplify elements to make change simple so you can manage the technical risk. | 101 |
Lance Loud | If there is a gay uniform, the differences are in how each man coordinates the details: the brand and cut of the jeans, the design of belts and boots, the haircut, the number and size of earrings. | 101 |
Mickey Drexler | I find, in merchandising and design and creative, a business school degree isn't particularly helpful. | 101 |
Rhianna Pratchett | A lot of young girls don't realise how diverse the career opportunities are in games development. Many think that you need elite math skills and a vast knowledge of all things tech to work in games, and haven't thought about avenues like design, producing, art, writing or composing. | 101 |
Carrie-Anne Moss | People tell you the world looks a certain way. Parents tell you how to think. Schools tell you how to think. TV. Religion. And then at a certain point, if you're lucky, you realize you can make up your own mind. Nobody sets the rules but you. You can design your own life. | 101 |
Harry Bertoia | The urge for good design is the same as the urge to go on living. | 101 |
Michael Graves | Good design should be available to everyone - and I do mean everyone. What I spent on the wheelchair I'm in could buy a small Mercedes. It's not only unfair to me; it's unfair to someone who's indigent but has the same needs. My goal is to make all objects affordable. | 101 |
Mike Davidson | I don't start with a design objective, I start with a communication objective. I feel my project is successful if it communicates what it is supposed to communicate. | 101 |
Stockwell Day | As all human beings are, in my view, creatures of God's design, we must respect all other human beings. That does not mean I have to agree with their choices or agree with their opinions, but indeed I respect them as human beings. | 101 |
Troy Dumais | Pools have their own uniqueness, design and engineering to depict culture, history or innovation. | 101 |
Ayumi Hamasaki | I don't set goals. Like, that's what I want to be doing however many years from now. I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance, that's what I'd do. Or design clothes. | 101 |
Brenda Laurel | I fervently believe in research as a necessity for good design, and I teach it that way. | 101 |
Cameron Sinclair | Design is about creating spaces for people to enjoy and of course, creating moments where you elevate the spirit, but 'design for good' is figuring out a program that not only creates better spaces, but creates jobs, creates new industry and really kind of raises the conversation about how we rebuild. | 101 |
Cesar Pelli | I realize that having a style would be very beneficial for my practice from a marketing standpoint, but I can't do it. I believe my responsibilities as an architect are to design the most appropriate building for the place. Each place has a distinct culture and function, which for me requires an appropriate answer. | 101 |
Colleen Haskell | I love graphic design. I love working with design, and I love storytelling, so I've been working on a children's book for a while, and I'd like to see that through. | 101 |
David Crane | Looking back, video game design seems a natural fit, although there was no such thing when I was growing up. I built a Tic-Tac-Toe playing machine in my teens which went up in smoke on the night it was scheduled to go to a science fair. | 101 |
Glenn Thompson | Obamacare is terminal. It is going to fail under the crushing weight of its own flawed design. | 101 |
John Maeda | I like stuff designed by dead people. The old designers. They always got it right because they didn't have to grow up with computers. All of the people that made the spoon and the dishes and the vacuum cleaner didn't have microprocessors and stuff. You could do a good design back then. | 101 |
Larry J. Sabato | The Constitution remains brilliant in its overall design and sound with respect to the Bill of Rights and the separation of powers. But there are numerous archaic provisions that inhibit constructive change and adaptation. These constitutional bits affect the daily life of the republic and every citizen in it. | 101 |
Ron Johnson | Design works if it's authentic, inspired, and has a clear point of view. It can't be a collection of input. | 101 |
Antoine Predock | Anything I do informs how I design. I wouldn't isolate any one activity. Everything I do feeds back to my life, and my life is expressed in my work. | 101 |
Jeff Hawkins | I do two things. I design mobile computers and I study brains. | 101 |
John Varvatos | A part of my kind of design and inspiration ethos is that I carry around a leather notebook and I sketch in it, doodle in it, write notes in it, and I put pictures in it. | 101 |
Robert Evans | Buildings designed with careful attention to aesthetics arouse and enlighten their occupants and that promotes their good health. | 101 |
Saul Griffith | If you write your own tools, you can sort of see new things, design new things. | 101 |
Alan Cooper | There's a fundamental problem with how the software business does things. We're asking people who are masters of hard-edged technology to design the soft, human side of software as well. As a result, they make products that are really cool - if you happen to be a software engineer. | 101 |
Carson McCullers | The mind is like a richly woven tapestry in which the colors are distilled from the experiences of the senses, and the design drawn from the convolutions of the intellect. | 101 |
David Bromstad | 'Design Star' was incredible, and I didn't think it could get any better, and then 'Color Splash' happened. | 101 |
Dayo Okeniyi | I decided to go to school for advertising and graphic design. That was what I was gonna do but acting is that thing, it's like a splinter in your mind and you can't get rid of it. So I decided to move to L.A. a few years ago and it just snowballed into this thing called 'The Hunger Games.' | 101 |
Robert Hormats | As the world's 'most dynamic' cities seek to manage their own urban growth, American state and local officials have much to offer. Our mayors can share their experiences in urban design, clean energy projects, Smart Grids, codes for energy efficient buildings, transportation safety, and innovative environmental solutions. | 101 |
Robert McKee | Classical design is a mirror of the human mind. It's how we see the world. | 101 |
Rogier van der Heide | By appreciating the darkness when you design the light, you create much more interesting environments that truly enhance our lives. | 101 |
Ross Lovegrove | Modern design becomes the eye catcher because it's out of context, it is something newborn and fresh, something people have never seen before. I mean, that in itself is the way we should sort of stimulate the senses of society, this urban condition. | 101 |
Adam Ferguson | Every step and every movement of the multitude, even in what are termed enlightened ages, are made with equal blindness to the future; and nations stumble upon establishments, which are indeed the result of human action, but not the execution of any human design. | 101 |
Dante Ferretti | I studied fine arts and architecture, but I decided to move into movie design because I grew up in a small town in the Marche region and spent a lot of time after school in the movie theater. | 101 |
Dennis Conner | Design has taken the place of what sailing used to be. | 101 |
Drew Endy | Biological engineering is not necessarily understanding systems but rather, I want to be able to design and build biological systems to perform particular applications. | 101 |
John Hockenberry | Design is the courage and brilliance to cover an original and make it different. | 101 |
Alec Issigonis | A camel is a horse designed by committee. | 101 |
Mitchell Kapor | What is design? It's where you stand with a foot in two worlds - the world of technology and the world of people and human purposes - and you try to bring the two together. | 101 |
Anne-Marie Willis | We design our world, while our world acts back on us and designs us. | 101 |
Michael Hansmeyer | The traditional notion of an architect having a vision of a building and then drawing it either on paper or on a computer and then constructing it isn't really how architecture works, and in reality, the computer has a lot of influence on design. | 101 |
Jean Patou | I wouldn't know how to design. I couldn't even if I wanted to, for I can't draw, and a pair of scissors in my hands becomes a dangerous weapon. | 101 |
Jimmy Choo | I love the idea of couture and its emphasis on creation. There's where I made my name - in design - and there's where I'd like to stay. | 101 |
John Langdon | Language, philosophy, and science are interwoven into the design of words, which are manipulated to create surprising illusions. | 101 |
Andrew Wyeth | It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion. | 102 |
Ferdinand Porsche | Design must be functional, and functionality must be translated into visual aesthetics without any reliance on gimmicks that have to be explained. | 102 |
Glenn Greenwald | Embedded in 'The New York Times' institutional perspective and reporting methodologies are all sorts of quite debatable and subjective political and cultural assumptions about the world. And with some noble exceptions, 'The Times,' by design or otherwise, has long served the interests of the same set of elite and powerful factions. | 102 |
Issey Miyake | Design is not for philosophy it's for life. | 102 |
Kevin Systrom | People interact with their phones very differently than they do with their PCs, and I think that when you design from the ground up with mobile in mind, you create a very different product than going the other way. | 102 |
Olivia Newton-John | I love to design and remodel houses, from working with the contractors to picking the colours, materials, kitchen and bathroom accessories to finally what furniture goes where. | 102 |
Paul Rand | Graphic design, which evokes the symmetria of Vituvius, the dynamic symmetry of Hambidge, the asymmetry of Mondrian; which is a good gestalt, generated by intuition or by computer, by invention or by a system of coordinates, is not good design if it does not communicate. | 102 |
Robert Rauschenberg | So that ideas of sort of relaxed symmetry have been something for years that I have been concerned with because I think that symmetry is a neutral shape as opposed to a form of design. | 102 |
Skrillex | Hip-hop and electronic music are so similar, in the fact that they're both very visceral, have so much bass; a lot of times, it's the same tempos. The culture and some of the sound design is different but a lot of times, it's the same stuff. | 102 |
Tom Peters | Almost all quality improvement comes via simplification of design, manufacturing... layout, processes, and procedures. | 102 |
Victor Papanek | The only important thing about design is how it relates to people. | 102 |
Walter Gropius | Our guiding principle was that design is neither an intellectual nor a material affair, but simply an integral part of the stuff of life, necessary for everyone in a civilized society. | 102 |
Alfonso Cuaron | I believe that human beings are born first and given passports later. I'm really thankful for my journey. And it's a journey I didn't design. | 102 |
Frei Otto | My architectural drive was to design new types of buildings to help poor people, especially following natural disasters and catastrophes... I will use whatever time is left to me to keep doing what I have been doing, which is to help humanity. | 102 |
Matt Mullenweg | There are two main methodologies of open source development. There's the Apache model, which is design by committee - great for things like web servers. Then you have the benevolent dictator model. That's what Ubuntu is doing, with Mark Shuttleworth. | 102 |
Robert Scoble | It's not enough to have a hacker culture anymore. You have to have a design culture, too. | 102 |
William Landay | I am interested in computers and technology, and art, photography, and design. | 102 |
Anton Corbijn | Apart from photography and music videos, I also do graphic design. | 102 |
Erik Brynjolfsson | There are lots of examples of routine, middle-skilled jobs that involve relatively structured tasks, and those are the jobs that are being eliminated the fastest. Those kinds of jobs are easier for our friends in the artificial intelligence community to design robots to handle them. They could be software robots; they could be physical robots. | 102 |
Genevieve Gorder | So, to really execute design in its highest form and making people feel joy, that's a great reward. | 102 |
Gianfranco Ferre | The design of a dress, furniture, a house, a room, a street and a city are all the same process. | 102 |
Harry Treadaway | I may live in London, but I'll go back to the country one day. My dad's an architect, so I would like him to design me a house. I'd love to be in the countryside when I'm older. | 102 |
Linwood Barclay | Once you come up with a premise, you have to work out how it all happened. It's a bit like coming up with a spectacular roof design first. Before you can get it up there, you need to build a solid foundation and supporting structure. | 102 |
Luca Cordero di Montezemolo | 'LaFerrari' means 'the Ferrari.' The excellence. In this car, we put everything we are able to do. Our extreme technology, extreme experience, extreme capability. And this has been the first Ferrari totally designed in our design center. | 102 |
Michael Kors | There are two kinds of designers: ones who are very happy locked in their office surrounded by their coterie. The last thing they need to do is to go to a trunk show; they'd go running for the hills. I not only enjoy it, I think, how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it? | 102 |
Peter Eisenman | I would never live in anything I design. Life and art are different. My life is very precious to me - my art is precious to me. I love designing things for other people, but I don't like designing things for myself. | 102 |
Raymond Loewy | Good design keeps the user happy, the manufacturer in the black and the aesthete unoffended. | 102 |
Rem Koolhaas | Designs are increasingly winning competitions because they are literally green, and because somewhere they feature a small windmill. | 102 |
Ben Parr | Google has placed its faith in data, while Apple worships the power of design. This dichotomy made the two companies complementary. Apple would ship the phones and computers, while Google would provide Maps, Search, YouTube, and other web tools that made the devices more useful. | 102 |
David M. Kelley | The main tenet of design thinking is empathy for the people you're trying to design for. Leadership is exactly the same thing - building empathy for the people that you're entrusted to help. | 102 |
Ethan Coen | Being non-commercial is never an ambition. Movies come together at different points for fortuitous reasons. You do them as you get the opportunity, as opposed to doing them when you choose to or design to. | 102 |
Gabriel Basso | I'm an artist. So if acting doesn't work out, which I hope it does, I'm probably going to go into graphic design or something like that. | 102 |
James Hong | My dad wanted me to be a professional person, which I was - I was a civil engineer. I graduated from civil engineering at USC in California. I became an engineer, and I helped design the roads for the L.A. County Roads Department. And I did that for about one and a half years in a sense to please my parents - to be a 'respectable' person. | 102 |
Luis von Ahn | Game design is a funny thing. There are people out there who are really good at it, but it's not clear that they can teach it. It's a very intuitive process. It's an art. | 102 |
Marshall Curry | After college, I did a bunch of different jobs - taught English in Mexico, worked in public radio, worked for a web design company - but there was something about documentaries that really attracted me. | 102 |
Trevor Donovan | I graduated from school for graphic design, and I started to get into acting class just to get over severe fright. I was an extremely shy person. I could barely say hello to anybody. | 102 |
Ayumi Hamasaki | I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance, that's what I'd do. Or design clothes. I think I'd throw myself into whatever I'm doing now. It's not about abandoning what I was doing before, or giving up. It's about knowing that if I die tomorrow, I lived the way I wanted to. | 102 |
B. J. Novak | Different people have different styles, but there is an opportunity as a director to be a writer in every moment, with every visual cue and every piece of production design. Everything is a decision, and everything can be obsessed over. | 102 |
Janine Turner | Longhorns are unique - each and every one of them is a different color with a different design. | 102 |
Michael Arad | When I started this project, I was a young architect. I was very apprehensive about any changes to the design. Whether I wanted to or not, I learned that you can accept some changes to its form without compromising its intent. But it's a leap of faith that I didn't want to make initially - to put it mildly. | 102 |
Russ Carnahan | After the Great Depression and after public urging, a nationwide public competition was held to determine a design for a memorial that would honor President Thomas Jefferson's bold vision for westward expansion for America. | 102 |
Scott Westerfeld | I've learned a lot about stage-managing for illustration. Sometimes you have to delete characters from a scene just to keep from overcrowding the image. I've also learned to making big-scale design decisions early. | 102 |
Stacey Bendet | I don't have a traditional design background, but it's inherent to me. My father was in the fabric industry, and even my grandfather and my great-grandfather were lace manufacturers. | 102 |
Steve Madden | I could design an $800 shoe line; it's easy. You use the best materials and you can make beautiful shoes. It's easier than making great shoes for $90. | 102 |
Ty Pennington | Design can change how you look at yourself. | 102 |
Charles Pelly | Ultimately, auto designers need to overcome market challenges with innovative design solutions. The automotive industry is at a turning point with environmental and economic conditions on one side and breakthrough technology on the other, so it will be fascinating to see how these design leaders envision the future. | 102 |
Charlie Byrd | A person should design the way he makes a living around how he wishes to make a life. | 102 |
James Blake | Dubstep has everything for me. Rhythm, sound design, heartfelt emotion - all in one place. | 102 |
Millard Drexler | I'm looking for best practices constantly. Apple has beautiful design, beautiful product, incredibly functional. But mostly it's about picking product, getting behind it, marketing it and introducing it to a customer. What they've done just inspires me. | 102 |
Clement Mok | Design, in its broadest sense, is the enabler of the digital era - it's a process that creates order out of chaos, that renders technology usable to business. Design means being good, not just looking good. | 102 |
Donald Wills Douglas | When you design it, think how you would feel if you had to fly it! Safety first! | 102 |
Dorothy Dunnett | You all know that each title in the Chronicles has a chess theme; that's partly because of the overall design of the Chronicles themselves - the game of chess as an analogue of the game of life. | 102 |
James Randolph Adams | Great designers seldom make great advertising men, because they get overcome by the beauty of the picture - and forget that merchandise must be sold. | 102 |
Jane Jacobs | Design is people. | 102 |
Jil Sander | I think there is always a need for pure design. With pure design, you don't need so much decoration. | 102 |
Andrew J. Feustel | While I was at community college, I studied industrial design because I thought maybe I'd be an automotive designer - I grew up in Detroit - and I also studied, geology because I was interested in science, a little bit. | 102 |
Marc Koska | I read a newspaper article in May 1984 which predicted that syringes would one day be a major cause of the transmission of HIV. It was what I had been waiting for - a project that had a lot of the things that I liked: problem-solving, product design, campaigning, and being a bit of a big mouth pain-in-the-bum. | 102 |
Jefferson Han | If you watched companies such as Sony and Samsung grow, they focused first on features and then on industrial design, which made their products look and feel better. | 102 |
James Hall | We want people to realize you are at a design school, not a land grant college. The way we look says a great deal about who we are. | 102 |
Jonathan Schell | The world is not to be approached, blueprint in hand, as if it were so much raw material waiting to be fashioned to someone's design. | 102 |
Richard Dawkins | Design can never be an ultimate explanation for anything. It can only be a proximate explanation. A plane or a car is explained by a designer but that's because the designer himself, the engineer, is explained by natural selection. | 103 |
Antoine de Saint-Exupery | A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. | 103 |
Charles Eames | Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose. | 103 |
Donald Norman | In my opinion, no single design is apt to be optimal for everyone. | 103 |
Jonathan Ive | It is sad that so many designers don't know how to make. CAD software can make a bad design look palatable! It is sad that four years can be spent on a 3D design course without making anything! People who are great at designing and making have a great advantage. | 103 |
Kate Moss | I'm not really a fashion designer. I just love clothes. I've never been to design school. I can't sketch. I can't cut patterns and things. I can shorten things. I can make a dress out of a scarf. | 103 |
Lee Strobel | Intelligent design is consistent with any faith system I can think of, because most faith systems believe that there is a creator. | 103 |
Neill Blomkamp | There has to be the popcorn genre element, or I don't engage the same way. I like action and vehicle design and guns and computer graphics as much as I like allegory. It's a constant balancing game. I want audiences to be on this rollercoaster that fits the Hollywood mould, but I also want them to absorb my observations. | 103 |
Ralph Lauren | I went to my boss, and I said, 'Look, I'd like to design these ties because I think they could be new.' He said, 'The world isn't ready for Ralph Lauren.' I never forgot that because... I thought that was a compliment. | 103 |
Robert Winston | Nearly all inventions are not recognised for their positive side either when they're made. So, for example, scientists didn't go out to design a CD machine: they designed a laser. But we got all sorts of things from a laser which we never remotely imagined, and we're still finding things for a laser to do. | 103 |
Stefan Sagmeister | I didn't think that personal style had much value in graphic design. | 103 |
Umberto Guidoni | And just when we were at the end of our design process there was the news that the Italian government and the U.S. government had signed an agreement to fly the first Italian astronaut on that flight. | 103 |
Valentino Garavani | Even as a young boy, my passion was to design, and I have been very lucky to be able to do what I have loved all my life. There can be few greater gifts than that. | 103 |
Victor Papanek | Design, if it is to be ecologically responsible and socially responsive, must be revolutionary and radical. | 103 |
Alexander Wang | I'm not like most designers, who have to set sail on an exotic getaway to get inspired. Most of the time, it's on my walk to work, or sitting in the subway and seeing something random or out of context. | 103 |
David Carson | For some reason I have a visual intuition that allows me to design things in an interesting way, and I don't know where that came from. Because I don't have this formal training, I seem to drift in a different direction. | 103 |
Fritz Zwicky | The universe is so unique and perfect that it could not have originated by chance but was divined by flawless, creative design. | 103 |
Jamais Cascio | Preventing global warming from becoming a planetary catastrophe may take something even more drastic than renewable energy, superefficient urban design, and global carbon taxes. | 103 |
John Malkovich | I like design, I like details, to me it is just another form of self-expression. | 103 |
Lynn Shelton | There's always so much more that can be conveyed on screen visually in the expressions of people's faces, in their bodies, in their body language. And also with sound design, with music. | 103 |
Manolo Blahnik | About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs. | 103 |
Nick D'Aloisio | I like playing sport. I'm a bit of a design enthusiast, and like spending time with my girlfriend and mates. | 103 |
Tim Pawlenty | There is a group of individuals who are radical jihadists. We need to call them by name. They believe it is OK to kill people in the name of their religion. It is not all of Islam. It is not all Muslims. But there is a subgroup who believe it is OK. In fact, it is their plan and design to kill people. | 103 |
William A. Dembski | Intelligent design is a modest position theologically and philosophically. It attributes the complexity and diversity of life to intelligence, but does not identify that intelligence with the God of any religious faith or philosophical system. | 103 |
Biz Stone | When I studied graphic design, I learned a valuable lesson: There's no perfect answer to the puzzle, and creativity is a renewable resource. | 103 |
Genie Francis | I've always loved interior design. | 103 |
Greg Lynn | With everything that I design, from a church to a plate to skyscraper to a spoon. I am always thinking about voluptuous volumes and spaces. | 103 |
Neil Gershenfeld | The real opportunity is to harness the inventive power of the world to locally design and produce solutions to local problems. | 103 |
Prabal Gurung | I'm constantly thinking about design, shapes, patterns and colors, so I just want to be more of a blank canvas. But there is a comfort in knowing what you're going to wear, and that probably comes from Catholic school, where I wore a uniform for 10 years. | 103 |
Cindy Gallop | I design my start-up ventures around my own personal beliefs and values. | 103 |
George Edmund Street | It is most necessary to avoid rusticity in any way, whether in material, design, or execution. | 103 |
Marc Newson | I think it's really important to design things with a kind of personality. | 103 |
Catherine Martin | I love every period in design history. Even the ugly ones. | 103 |
Chris Kirkpatrick | I enjoy trying to inspire myself. I enjoy the artistic side of everything. Music, art, fashion, everything. I just like to be on the cutting edge of it. I'm into designing houses and interior design. I like change. I like creating things out of nothing. | 103 |
Dave deBronkart | I'm an e-patient: equipped, enabled, empowered, engaged. I'm no clinician, but I do everything in my power to help them, to play an active role in my own care, and even in the design of care. | 103 |
Douglas Trumbull | IBM was the original contractor for much of the computer interface design on the film. | 103 |
Jay Roach | My biggest role as director on the film is keeping a sense of the overview - how to cast the movie and shoot it in such a way that it will cut together. And how to design the style and tone. | 103 |
Stephen Sprouse | I finished high school there and then I went to Rhode Island School of Design. | 103 |
Charlotte Ronson | I had always wanted to expand to beauty, but I knew I wanted to be able to translate my design aesthetic in an authentic way. | 103 |
Chip Kidd | I really liked the design of Batman. I liked the concept. There's a lot more you can do with Batman than most other superheroes. | 103 |
Cynthia Breazeal | Through our evolution, we're so specialized for social interaction. So, if you can really design robots that can interact with people, in this very natural, interpersonal way, I think that would be great. You wouldn't have to have people read manuals, in order to operate them. | 103 |
Jesse James Garrett | User-centered design means understanding what your users need, how they think, and how they behave - and incorporating that understanding into every aspect of your process. | 103 |
Saul Griffith | The principal and only way to make an heirloom product is to design something that people will need not just this year, but for the next 50 or 100 years. | 103 |
Tony Hoare | There are two methods in software design. One is to make the program so simple, there are obviously no errors. The other is to make it so complicated, there are no obvious errors. | 103 |
David Bromstad | Technology is making design more exciting, with color, wallpaper, textures, fabrics that could never have been created without the technology. | 103 |
James Rouse | For many years, I have lived uncomfortably with the belief that most planning and architectural design suffers for lack of real and basic purpose. The ultimate purpose, it seems to me, must be the improvement of mankind. | 103 |
Mariam Naficy | The name Minted speaks to the freshness of our design - the fact that we are receiving thousands of new designs each week and selling freshly minted winners from our design competitions. | 103 |
Matt Mickiewicz | I was really just a hard-core geek, if you will, in 1996, and was building websites as a hobby. I started doing a lot of web design and development and built my first website on the now-defunct GeoCities platform. | 103 |
John Tenniel | By means of tracing-paper I transfer my design to the wood and draw on that. | 103 |
Bjarke Ingels | Sustainability can't be like some sort of a moral sacrifice or political dilemma or a philanthropical cause. It has to be a design challenge. | 104 |
Charles Eames | The details are not the details. They make the design. | 104 |
Filippo Brunelleschi | Many are ready, when listening to the inventor, to belittle and deny his achievements so that he will no longer be heard in honourable places, but after some months or a year, they use the inventor's words in speech or writing or design. | 104 |
Gianni Versace | I like the body. I like to design everything to do with the body. | 104 |
Herbert A. Simon | Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones. | 104 |
Jonathan Ive | Eight years of work can be copied in six months. It wasn't inevitable that it was going to work. A stolen design is stolen time. | 104 |
Kevin McCloud | I'm not too fond of really cool design. I've got quite kitsch taste really, in things like tableware. I'm quite a sucker for 1930s pressed glass. | 104 |
Louis Kahn | Design is not making beauty, beauty emerges from selection, affinities, integration, love. | 104 |
Stella McCartney | I am a fashion designer. I'm not an environmentalist. When I get up in the morning, number one I'm a mother and a wife, and number two I design clothes. So the main thing I need to do is create, hopefully, exquisitely beautiful, desirable objects for my customer. | 104 |
Yigal Azrouel | I very rarely wear suits, and only make one or two per season, so it's about wanting exceptional clothes that don't feel stiff. Fabric and garment washing are a big part of my design process for that reason. Everything needs to feel lived-in and comfortable. | 104 |
Baba Kalyani | Before 2000, we were unable to design a single car; all the cars were designed in Japan, Europe or somewhere else. We were just converting. | 104 |
Henry Petroski | All conventional wisdom has an element of truth to it, but good design requires more than an element of truth - it requires an ensemble of correct assumptions and valid calculations. | 104 |
Jack Dangermond | AppStudio is a native app builder that allows you to build the app and automatically deploy it on Android, iPhone, and Windows. It lets you design it once and then implement it anywhere. | 104 |
Kenzo Tange | Designs of purely arbitrary nature cannot be expected to last long. | 104 |
Leonard Baskin | Of course, I did lots of what would be called graphic design now, what used to be called commercial art. | 104 |
William Bell | I wear a lot of different hats - from writer to producer and artist. We all do 5 or 6 jobs, everything from creating our own graphic design to actually recording and the whole bit. | 104 |
Christine Gregoire | When nearly a third of our high school students do not graduate on time with their peers, we have work to do. We must design our middle and high schools so that no student gets lost in the crowd and disconnected from his or her own potential. | 104 |
Eva Zeisel | When I design something, I think of it as a gift to somebody else. | 104 |
Giuseppe Zanotti | You cannot design shoes if you only think about fashion; it's too realistic. When I design, I dream. | 104 |
Graeme Base | I was always interested in art at school, and after year twelve, senior year, I spent three years studying graphic design at college. I worked in advertising for two years but didn't like it much, then began doing a bit of illustration work for various publishers. | 104 |
Jason Reitman | Can you design a Rorschach test that's going to make everyone feel something every time - and that looks like a Rorschach test? It's easy to show a picture of a kitten or a car accident. The question is, how abstract can you get and still get the audience to feel something when they don't know what's happening to them? | 104 |
Leo Fender | The design of each element should be thought out in order to be easy to make and easy to repair. | 104 |
Palmer Luckey | I was interested in virtual reality for several years even before working at USC, it wasn't an interest that started there at all. In fact, when I started working at USC, I already had prototypes of the Rift that were very similar to the final design. | 104 |
Steven Holl | My studio cube is an experiment in solar heating and design. The south wall is covered with glass planks that collect and distribute heat naturally to my work studio on the second level. | 104 |
Geoffrey Beene | Design is an unknown. | 104 |
Guido van Rossum | If you decide to design your own language, there are thousands of sort of amateur language designer pitfalls. | 104 |
Michael Graves | If I have a style, I am not aware of it. | 104 |
Robert Shea | Ultimately we may still ask, why can't humans design a perfect society? | 104 |
Sergio Aragones | Sometimes, you start with the drawing and then the gag comes to you in the middle of it. That is when you start working on the solution of the gag, which is composition, placing, equilibrium, and character design. | 104 |
Tadashi Shoji | So many designers only sketch and leave pattern-making to others. Pattern-making is important so you know the structure. Then if someone tells me, 'I can't make a pattern from that sketch,' I can tell them, 'I will make it' and then they are quiet. If I can't make it, I don't design it. | 104 |
Byron White | The Court is most vulnerable and comes nearest to illegitimacy when it deals with judge-made constitutional law having little or no cognizable roots in the language or design of the Constitution. | 104 |
Chris Kirkpatrick | I'm into designing houses and interior design. I like change. I like creating things out of nothing. | 104 |
Don Tapscott | Wherever you are, design your life. Live the values of your generation. | 104 |
Jamie Wyeth | I had been elected to the National Academy of Design in New York, and one of the requirements was that you give a portrait, a self-portrait of yourself. | 104 |
Jan Chipchase | I specialise in taking teams of designers, psychologists, usability experts, sociologists and ethnographers into the field. It's called 'corporate anthropology,' but personally I'm more comfortable with 'design research,' because I'm not an anthropologist by training. | 104 |
Robin Day | I would think twice about designing stuff for which there was no need and which didn't endure. | 104 |
Ron Eglash | I started collecting aerial photographs of Native American and South Pacific architecture; only the African ones were fractal. And if you think about it, all these different societies have different geometric design themes that they use. So Native Americans use a combination of circular symmetry and fourfold symmetry. | 104 |
Mickey Hart | When the Grateful Dead needed a quality sound system to deliver our sonic payload, I learned electronics and speaker design. | 104 |
Rafael Vinoly | Architects feel empowered to give opinions about politics and sociology and philosophy without knowing much about it. Kind of in the same way that they think they can design furniture or fashion or utensils for dining. | 104 |
Saul Griffith | If you have to design something, choose things that we need as opposed to frivolous things that we might just want for a month or two for bragging rights. | 104 |
Christian de Portzamparc | When I am true to my inspiration, even fight for my design, the project always turns out well. | 104 |
John Logan | I couldn't write a happy movie or romantic comedy to save my life. Yes, Noel Coward's an idol, but his plays are serious to me. 'Private Lives' and 'Design for Living' both have an edge. Without psychoanalyzing myself, I think I exorcise my demons in my work. | 104 |
Mariam Naficy | Minted.com is both a global design community and stationery retailer. Independent graphic designers from all over the world submit designs to our ongoing design competitions, and Minted's community votes to tell us what to sell. | 104 |
John Van Hamersveld | I look at graphic design as communication, meaning that the work has to have a vibe to connect to the viewer or perceiver. I make a black and white drawing and then add color digitally, bringing in a contemporary pattern to the composition to create a vibrance. | 104 |
Mick Ebeling | I have a company that does design and animation, so obviously graffiti is definitely an intricate part of what we admire and respect in the art world. | 104 |
Jarrett J. Krosoczka | Every single item that we come into contact with on a daily basis has been designed by an artist. From the toothbrush we use in the morning, to the defibrillator that could save our lives, an artist is behind the design. | 104 |
Jann Wenner | Magazines that depend on photography, and design, and long reads, and quality stuff, are going to do just fine despite the Internet and cable news. | 104 |
Billy Graham | Many churches of all persuasions are hiring research agencies to poll neighborhoods, asking what kind of church they prefer. Then the local churches design themselves to fit the desires of the people. True faith in God that demands selflessness is being replaced by trendy religion that serves the selfish. | 105 |
Iris Apfel | Fashion and interior design are one and the same. | 105 |
Charles Eames | Recognizing the need is the primary condition for design. | 105 |
Ferdinand Porsche | Good design should be honest. | 105 |
Isaac Mizrahi | This is what I like about being a designer: You can't really get it until you see it. | 105 |
Nate Berkus | Design, to me, is part psychology, part sociology, and part magic. A good decorator should know what's going on in someone's marriage and how their kids are doing in school. | 105 |
Olivier Theyskens | The aim of being a good designer is to have an influence. If you design furniture or lifestyle, you should influence the way people evolve globally. It's good to have an influence. | 105 |
Paul Rand | To design is much more than simply to assemble, to order, or even to edit: it is to add value and meaning, to illuminate, to simplify, to clarify, to modify, to dignify, to dramatize, to persuade, and perhaps even to amuse. To design is to transform prose into poetry. | 105 |
Peter York | Chandeliers are marvels of drop-dead showiness, the jewellery of architecture. | 105 |
Philip Johnson | All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space. | 105 |
Tadao Ando | When I design buildings, I think of the overall composition, much as the parts of a body would fit together. On top of that, I think about how people will approach the building and experience that space. | 105 |
Yigal Azrouel | I always have music playing in my studio when I design. It really gets me in the mood and allows me to focus. | 105 |
Yves Behar | My mantra is: 'Good design accelerates the adoption of new ideas.' | 105 |
Anthony Browne | Maurice Sendak is the daddy of them all when it comes to picture books - the words, the rhythm, the psychology, the design. | 105 |
Danny Brown | I would never design anything. I just think that's kind of wack. I hated every rapper fashion line that ever came out, you know what I'm saying? I would never try. | 105 |
David McCandless | I feel that every day, all of us now are being blasted by information design. It's being poured into our eyes through the Web, and we're all visualizers now; we're all demanding a visual aspect to our information. There's something almost quite magical about visual information. It's effortless; it literally pours in. | 105 |
Don Yaeger | Decisions are the frequent fabric of our daily design. | 105 |
Henrik Fisker | One of the big failures for the big auto companies is that even the CEO and the top management often don't understand design and manufacturing. As a CEO, you have to make decisions; you need to have knowledge. | 105 |
Kevin Kelly | Species go extinct because there are historical contraints built into a given body or a given design. | 105 |
Len Wein | I became an art major, took every art class my school had to offer. In college, I majored in Advertising Art and Design. | 105 |
M.I.A. | Nike is the uniform for kids all over the world, and African design has been killed by Nike. Africans no longer want to wear their own designs. | 105 |
Peter Zumthor | Designing is a matter of concentration. You go deep into what you want to do. It's about intensive research, really. The concentration is warm and intimate and like the fire inside the earth - intense but not distorted. You can go to a place, really feel it in your heart. It's actually a beautiful feeling. | 105 |
Suzan DelBene | The i730 combines the familiarity of Windows Mobile software with the innovative design of Samsung that will be a popular choice for mobile professionals. | 105 |
Genevieve Gorder | I think taking design out of the studio and really having a relationship with the people that you're making it for really convinced me of how powerful a thing design is. It's not just an aesthetic decoration. | 105 |
Jim Lee | As an artist, as I design and lay out a page, the less-important things, things I want you to spend less time looking at, I draw them very small, maybe even silhouette them. The more-important pivotal scenes, I draw them larger, maybe even a double-page spread. | 105 |
Pierre Bonnard | Color does not add a pleasant quality to design - it reinforces it. | 105 |
Prabal Gurung | I'm fascinated by furniture design and interiors, and I want to try designing all that stuff. | 105 |
St. Vincent | In regards to being a fashion aficionado, there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design, and love when things are beautiful. | 105 |
Alessandra Ambrosio | I am extremely excited to develop and design a brand representative of my life, experiences and style. Working closely with Cherokee will help establish a worldwide presence with best-in-class retailers and category leaders. | 105 |
Cindy Gallop | When we launched If WeRanTheWorld, I said to my team, I want us to innovate in every aspect of how we design and operate this as a business venture, as much as the web platform itself - because I want us to design our own startup around the working lives that we would all like to live. Women and men alike. | 105 |
Giambattista Valli | I have made bouquets of pleats, bouquets of flowers, bouquets of ruffles, bouquets of feathers. Often I design in mousseline, held tightly around the waist, and with something else going on all around. | 105 |
Leon Krier | Surprisingly, the Eisenhower Memorial design contains almost none of the known Gehry-box of tricks. His giant etched chain-link curtain, first applied in 1979 to hide an ungracious parking garage at Santa Monica Place, is resurrected for Eisenhower to screen the equally graceless facade of the Department of Education. | 105 |
Tadashi Shoji | It's a Japanese way of thinking, that I give value for my merchandise. So I don't want to sell unnecessarily expensive dresses and make just 10 or 20 and then feel satisfied. I want to design for real women who can afford my dresses. | 105 |
Cameron Sinclair | When you as a designer design something that burdens a community with maintenance and old world technology, basically failed developed world technology, then you will crush that community way beyond bad design; you'll destroy the economics of that community, and often the community socially is broken. | 105 |
Joseph Lancaster | I am persuaded, that if any attempt is made to improve the education of the poor, and such an unmanly spirit should guide the resolution of a society or committee for that purpose, it would render the design abortive. | 105 |
Robert Moog | Leon Theremin's original designs are elegant, ingenious and effective. As electronics goes, the theremin is very simple. But there are so many subtleties hidden in the details of the design. It's like a great sonnet, or a painting, or a speech, that is perfectly done on more than one level. | 105 |
David Small | Things like anatomy and drawing and design and color had pretty much been drop-kicked out of the curriculum in the '70s, when I was studying art, in favor of abstraction and minimalism. | 105 |
Charles J. Givens | To design the future effectively, you must first let go of your past. | 105 |
James Fallows | The demise of Google Reader, if logical, is a reminder of how far we've come from the cuddly old 'I'm Feeling Lucky' Google days, in which there was a foreseeably-astonishing delight in the way Google's evolving design tricks anticipated what users would like. | 105 |
Seymour Cray | I just bought a Mac to help me design the next Cray. | 105 |
Jack Reed | If we don't have accurate information, if we are not able to tell difficult truth one to another, we will never be able to effectively design a policy for Iraq. | 105 |
John Anderson | But my point is that you design something in the end that precludes any unhealthy trading practices that are not going to serve your environmental or your economic objectives but now is not the time to do it. | 105 |
Jakaya Kikwete | We design our own programmes; we take leadership. Of course the donors come in to support us, to complement our efforts. Our responsibility to the donors is about accountability: about how we use that money. If somebody gives you his money, definitely he will be interested in knowing how you spend the money. | 105 |
Alvar Aalto | Once I tried to make a standardization of staircases. Probably that is one of the oldest of the standardizations. Of course, we design new staircase steps every day in connection with all our houses, but a standardized step depends on the height of the buildings and on all kinds of things. | 106 |
Diane von Furstenberg | The most important relationship you have in life is the one you have with yourself. And then after that, I'd say once you have that, it may be hard work, but you can actually design your life. | 106 |
Ernie Els | Something I've really enjoyed learning more about is course design. | 106 |
Freeman Dyson | A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering. | 106 |
Hasso Plattner | At Stanford, we teach 'design thinking' - that is, we put together small, interdisciplinary groups to figure out what the true needs are and then to apply the art of engineering to serve them. | 106 |
Herbert A. Simon | The proper study of mankind is the science of design. | 106 |
Jonathan Ive | 'Design' is a word that's come to mean so much that it's also a word that has come to mean nothing. | 106 |
Le Corbusier | Space and light and order. Those are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep. | 106 |
Mary J. Blige | I like to do interior design, I love to quilt, I love to see different colors together, and I love to match things up. | 106 |
Nicola Formichetti | I want young people to be able to buy into what I design. When I was young, I wanted to buy designer brands even if all I could afford was the cheapest wallet, the cheapest pen, the cheapest T-shirt because I wanted to be a part of it. | 106 |
Paul Rand | Design is a way of life, a point of view. It involves the whole complex of visual communications: talent, creative ability, manual skill, and technical knowledge. Aesthetics and economics, technology and psychology are intrinsically related to the process. | 106 |
Renzo Piano | London is one of the most civilised places in the world for the procedure of making architecture and urban design. | 106 |
Tyler, The Creator | I want to design jewelry for girls and guys... I'ma spread it out, but I'ma design, probably when I'm just designing furniture and buildings, I'll probably being the jewelry thing, too. | 106 |
Yukihiro Matsumoto | I believe consistency and orthogonality are tools of design, not the primary goal in design. | 106 |
Yves Behar | I wanted to be a writer as a teen... so storytelling was my first love. In my late teens, design became an obsession as I realized that I could express myself through the medium. Much later, when I founded Fuseproject in 1999, our slogan became 'design brings stories to life.' | 106 |
Douglas Wilson | What people respond to in my room makeovers is the daring design - fearless colors, bold fabrics and occasionally outlandish decor. | 106 |
Henry Petroski | Successful design is not the achievement of perfection but the minimization and accommodation of imperfection. | 106 |
Kenneth R. Miller | Like many other scientists who hold the Catholic faith, I see the Creator's plan and purpose fulfilled in our universe. I see a planet bursting with evolutionary possibilities, a continuing creation in which the Divine providence is manifest in every living thing. I see a science that tells us there is indeed a design to life. | 106 |
Milton Glaser | Computers are to design as microwaves are to cooking. | 106 |
Mitch Kapor | The critical thing in developing software is not the program, it's the design. It is translating understanding of user needs into something that can be realized as a computer program. | 106 |
Nicolas Ghesquiere | In terms of design, it's true the world has an influence. But, as a designer, you have to protect yourself. You have to look at the world and then forget it. | 106 |
Peter Stuyvesant | The design of those commissioners, frigates and warlike force is directed rather against Long Island and these your Honors' possessions, than to the imagined reform of New England. | 106 |
Peter Zumthor | The first 10 years of my professional life had only to do with running away from my father. He was a wonderful cabinet-maker, and me being the eldest son, I had to take over his shop, his profession and so on and so on. I tried to escape by going to art school and then going on to industrial design and then interior design. | 106 |
Shawn Fanning | Unfortunately, the client that exists today is still pretty much the prototype design. | 106 |
Whitfield Diffie | If you depend on a secret for your security, what do you do when the secret is discovered? If it is easy to change, like a cryptographic key, you do so. If it's hard to change, like a cryptographic system or an operating system, you're stuck. You will be vulnerable until you invest the time and money to design another system. | 106 |
Willie McCovey | I had talked for years about doing a restaurant with Rocky Dudum, who's been my friend since I first came to San Francisco. Then Rocky's son, Jeff, said he wanted to design it, so he traveled around the country to sports restaurants like Mickey Mantle's and Michael Jordan's, and he came up with a great concept. | 106 |
Dhani Harrison | If you were the first person ever to design an application for the iPhone and you patented it, you would be very, very better off than we are right now, you know? But you've got to be the first one to do it. So I figured that Led Zeppelin or the Stones were going to do it unless we just got on to it. So I got cracking with the guys from Apple. | 106 |
Genevieve Gorder | Design can have such a positive impact on the way people live and on their relationships and moods. | 106 |
Janine Benyus | For businesses, biomimicry is about bringing a new discipline - biology - to the design table. It's not to write an environmental impact statement, as most biologists in business do right now. | 106 |
Katherine Waterston | Costume design is so important and really helpful, and I really love that aspect of character development, just figuring it out. | 106 |
Martin Filler | Few developments central to the history of art have been so misrepresented or misunderstood as the brief, brave, glorious, doomed life of the Bauhaus - the epochally influential German art, architecture, crafts, and design school that was founded in Goethe's sleepy hometown of Weimar in 1919. | 106 |
Tony Kaye | I've come up through art school, through painting, through graphic design, through advertising, through TV commercials and music video. I've designed books, built billboards, matchbooks, corporate identities. I continuously paint, I've done conceptual art pictures. | 106 |
Christian Siriano | It was something I was more interested in myself. When I went to see my sister dance at ballet, I was really into costumes and the arts, and my family was also supportive of whatever me and my sister wanted to do. I would say I pushed myself the most to be into design. | 106 |
Daniel Libeskind | I think there is a new awareness in this 21st century that design is as important to where and how we live as it is for museums, concert halls and civic buildings. | 106 |
Janina Gavankar | I'm always drooling over great design, from fashion to furniture. | 106 |
Douglas Trumbull | There were IBM logos designed for the film, and there were IBM design consultants working with Kubrick on the layout of the controls and computer screens. | 106 |
Robert Moog | My training as an engineer has enabled me to design the stuff, but the reason I do it is not to make music but for the opportunity to work with musicians. | 106 |
Steve Madden | So much of design is context. | 106 |
Rachel Lambert Mellon | I always design a landscape with fixed horizons whether it be mountains or a stone wall around a 20-foot-square plot. | 106 |
Mariam Naficy | Over the years, I observed that many talented graphic designers, including those in my own family, had difficulty getting their designs to market. I thought it would be possible to hold open stationery design competitions where all designers could participate. | 106 |
Ross Lovegrove | I'm involved in everything from highly progressive lighting systems to airline interiors. In the field of transportation I can go from the micro to the macro: architecture, transportation, industrial product design, right across the board. It's Russian dollism, because they all interrelate: one goes into the other. | 106 |
Joseph Kosinski | Once I got out of architecture school I decided not to be an architect, I just started my own little design studio. | 106 |
Jean Nouvel | It is not possible to design always the same. How to be different in each different place - that is the most important work and duty of the architect to find out. | 106 |
Jef Raskin | Once the product's task is known, design the interface first; then implement to the interface design. | 106 |
Walt Disney | You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality. | 107 |
Vera Wang | When I design a wedding dress with a bustle, it has to be one the bride can dance in. I love the idea that something is practical and still looks great. | 107 |
B. F. Skinner | I did not direct my life. I didn't design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is. | 107 |
Alain Ducasse | Food is one part of the experience. And it has to be somewhere between 50 to 60 percent of the dining experience. But the rest counts as well: The mood, the atmosphere, the music, the feeling, the design, the harmony between what you have on the plate and what surrounds the plate. | 107 |
Daniel Day-Lewis | At some point in your life, if you're lucky, you get to design the way in which things evolve. | 107 |
Greg Anderson | Wellness is not a 'medical fix' but a way of living - a lifestyle sensitive and responsive to all the dimensions of body, mind, and spirit, an approach to life we each design to achieve our highest potential for well-being now and forever. | 107 |
Herbert A. Simon | Engineering, medicine, business, architecture and painting are concerned not with the necessary but with the contingent - not with how things are but with how they might be - in short, with design. | 107 |
Lisa Vanderpump | I'm also interested in pets with alopecia. And design. I'm surprised I haven't gone through with a homeware brand. The bedding, the comforters, the candles, the this and that. I would like to design everything. | 107 |
Tom Ford | I hate going out for lunch during a workday because it slows down my pace and ruins my rhythm. I prefer to eat at my desk. Actually, I wander around the design studio with a plate in my hand as I dine on, for example, salmon sashimi and a salad of tomatoes and mozzarella. I often have a bit of dark chocolate after lunch. | 107 |
Ursula Andress | I wanted to be a decorator. I wanted to interior design homes and do everything myself. | 107 |
Yukihiro Matsumoto | Actually, I didn't make the claim that Ruby follows the principle of least surprise. Someone felt the design of Ruby follows that philosophy, so they started saying that. I didn't bring that up, actually. | 107 |
Adolf Galland | I would like to mention that I have flown the 262 first in May '43. At this time, the aircraft was completely secret. I first knew of the existence of this aircraft only early in '42 - even in my position. This aircraft didn't have any priority in design or production. | 107 |
David Brainerd | We should always look upon ourselves as God's servants, placed in God's world, to do his work; and accordingly labour faithfully for him; not with a design to grow rich and great, but to glorify God, and do all the good we possibly can. | 107 |
David H. Murdock | Success isn't something you achieve by accident, but rather by design. | 107 |
Hedi Slimane | I don't like the collusion between high fashion design and high street. You have to know where you stand. I belong to luxury fashion. That's what I've always felt and embraced. I like the best quality, the best fabrics and the most creative field in fashion. I will stay consistent. I belong to this world. | 107 |
Niklaus Wirth | A good designer must rely on experience, on precise, logic thinking; and on pedantic exactness. No magic will do. | 107 |
Paul Graham | Everyone by now presumably knows about the danger of premature optimization. I think we should be just as worried about premature design - designing too early what a program should do. | 107 |
Rene Russo | If I had to design a career for myself, I would have done comedy. | 107 |
Stephen Elop | I have to experience the Nokia products. I'm a major contributor to the design and the quality of the devices. I have a lot of feedback to provide the teams on that. But also I have to carry competitive devices. You have to understand the competition. | 107 |
Thomas Keneally | And I think my sexuality was heavily repressed by the church, by the, you know, the design of the mortal sins. | 107 |
Dan Shechtman | Young people in Israel are encouraged to design, produce and sell their products from high school. Technical universities also matter. Teach and introduce entrepreneurship courses in technical universities. | 107 |
Don Bluth | I have never seen a game's graphics look so sharp and clean. The sound design for the game is also unique on the Xbox. The memory on this system allowed us to provide the user with 5.1 Dolby surround sound for home theatre owners. | 107 |
Greg Lynn | By supporting all the links in the building chain and giving them an easy, intuitive tool for sharing model-based project information, GTeam enhances workflows and improves communication from design through to fabrication and assembly. | 107 |
Mary Barra | When I am there at our global product development centers, I am meeting with the design team and reviewing design work being done there and meeting with engineers responsible for work being done specific to that region, meeting with purchasing team. | 107 |
George Gilder | Intelligent design itself does not have any content. | 107 |
Michael Graves | It was always my goal to 'up the ante' on good design, and I've devoted much of my career to this. | 107 |
Ryan Tedder | If you're talking to an architect, he can look at a blank piece of paper, and once the initial design is there, the formula kicks in. Each room should have something unique and different about it - much the same way that in a song, every eight bars or so, a new piece of information should be introduced. | 107 |
Sofia Coppola | Acting isn't for me. I don't like being told what to do. I'm more interested in set design, more visually driven. | 107 |
Tadashi Shoji | I design to make women feel confident and beautiful. | 107 |
Tarsem Singh | Usually I design the lighting and when I have the physical set there, I'm not good at going out loosely and saying, 'Do you what you want, give it to the editor, and he'll figure it out.' I physically then walk on with the actors and I say, 'Let's walk until you guys feel the space works for you, and tell me when all that happens.' | 107 |
Cesar Pelli | I always look forward to the next project. That is one of the wonderful things about architecture - you always can hope for another project to design. | 107 |
Dan Phillips | If you have multiples of anything, you have the possibility of repetition. Repetition creates pattern and also unity. Put anyone in a room with a pile of similar objects and say, 'I want a pattern by 3 P.M. or no dinner.' Anyone would come up with a design. It is easy, fun and available to anybody. Most people just don't have the nerve. | 107 |
Renzo Rosso | The Diesel team has incredible passion. We work for ourselves and design for ourselves. When I see a new watch in our collection, I go crazy. I want one of everything. | 107 |
Samuel E. Morison | In any case, his judgment and set of values, acting alone or through his assistants, determine not only what is gold and what is dross but the design of the history which he creates out of the metal. The historian decides what is significant, and what is not. | 107 |
Rachel Lambert Mellon | The sky is a free asset in design, and nothing unnecessary should be planted that takes away the sky. | 107 |
Robert Hughes | Nothing they design ever gets in the way of a work of art. | 107 |
Mariam Naficy | All of the designs on Minted are crowd-sourced from a global community of independent designers. We hold monthly design and art challenges that anyone in the world is welcome to enter. | 107 |
Monika Chiang | Even though I design my own jewelry, one of the great things about my job is being able to bring in really talented collaborators. | 107 |
Jessica Hart | I love the creative outlet of designing, and I love make-up and products and feel like I find so many great products around the world that I want to recreate, so I want to do that or design. | 107 |
Dieter Rams | Design should not dominate things, should not dominate people. It should help people. That's its role. | 108 |
Donald Norman | It is relatively easy to design for the perfect cases, when everything goes right, or when all the information required is available in proper format. | 108 |
Hideo Kojima | I am tremendously excited to introduce a unique 'Metal Gear Solid' experience to a new audience of gamers as well as collaborate with my mentor in game design, Mr. Miyamoto, on 'Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes' for Nintendo GameCube. | 108 |
Isaac Barrow | Even private persons in due season, with discretion and temper, may reprove others, whom they observe to commit sin, or follow bad courses, out of charitable design, and with hope to reclaim them. | 108 |
Mark McKinnon | The problem with State of the Union speeches is that they are, by their nature and design, alphabet soup. It's hard to know what a president really cares about when they run down a laundry list and check every issue box under the sun for fear they will offend some constituency if they don't. | 108 |
Nicole Richie | I am extremely involved in the design process of both my brands, Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960. | 108 |
Paul Rand | Pictures, abstract symbols, materials, and colors are among the ingredients with which a designer or engineer works. To design is to discover relationships and to make arrangements and rearrangements among these ingredients. | 108 |
Renzo Piano | I don't like the idea that the first preparation when you start to design your building has to put your label. I think this is not fair. It's not fair to the building or to the people, to the client, because every building tells a different story. | 108 |
Stefan Sagmeister | If you want to communicate something, you'd better make sure that your design piece is well-dressed and that its teeth are fixed. At the same time, I still believe that if it is only stylistically great and it has nothing to say, it still is not going to make a lasting impression on anybody. | 108 |
Tim Gunn | With fashion, you really need to understand the aspects of construction. Not just design on an iPad. | 108 |
Wally Lamb | The roundness of life's design may be a sign that there is a presence beyond ourselves. | 108 |
Yves Behar | Design certainly has a cosmetic, aesthetic aim. It always aims at making things beautiful. But relevance is just as important. I often say, 'If it isn't ethical, it can't be beautiful. But if it isn't beautiful, it probably shouldn't be at all.' | 108 |
Anselm Kiefer | I believe in empty spaces; they're the most wonderful thing. | 108 |
Colleen Atwood | One thing about costume design - and I think design in general - but especially costume design, is people have a misconception that it's very glamorous work. | 108 |
Douglas Wilson | I'm opinionated. I always stick to my design plan. I don't waver. | 108 |
Edward Tufte | I do believe that there are some universal cognitive tasks that are deep and profound - indeed, so deep and profound that it is worthwhile to understand them in order to design our displays in accord with those tasks. | 108 |
Mikhail Kalashnikov | I tried a dozen different modifications that were rejected. But they all served as a path to the final design. | 108 |
Annabelle Selldorf | I make spaces that are calm rather than confrontational. I seek a certain kind of logic that allows you to move in space and perceive it as beautiful and rational. Clarity is a worthwhile quality. | 108 |
Clemence Poesy | I love fashion, and I've always wanted to do costume design, but I'm in jeans and T-shirts most of the time. | 108 |
Deborra-Lee Furness | If I wasn't an actress, I'd be a designer. I love interior design and inventing things that are practical but also beautiful - looking at a space and creating magic. | 108 |
Mary Astell | The design of Rhetoric is to remove those Prejudices that lie in the way of Truth, to Reduce the Passions to the Government of Reasons; to place our Subject in a Right Light, and excite our Hearers to a due consideration of it. | 108 |
Peter Eisenman | Architects design houses. I live in a home. | 108 |
Bjarne Stroustrup | After all, C++ isn't a perfect match for Java's design aims either. | 108 |
Michael Graves | I believe well-designed places and objects can actually improve healing, while poor design can inhibit it. | 108 |
David Crane | My background is in hardware design. I found hardware work to be a welcome change from thousands of hours of programming and that led to the designs you mentioned. | 108 |
Michael Arad | How do you design it so that people can form a space of their own, and feel quiet and contemplative? | 108 |
Barbara Kruger | Although my art work was heavily informed by my design work on a formal and visual level, as regards meaning and content the two practices parted ways. | 109 |
Branch Rickey | Luck is the residue of design. | 109 |
Christian Louboutin | I have no problem with the idea of comfort, but it is not an important thing aesthetically. If you look at a shoe and immediately say it looks very comfortable, in terms of design, it is not going to excite me. Of course, I am not putting nails in my shoes to ensure everybody is in pain, but a heel is not a pair of slippers and never will be. | 109 |
Craig Venter | Genome design is going to be a key part of the future. That's why we need fast, cheap, accurate DNA synthesis, so you can make a lot of iterations of something and test them. | 109 |
Daniel Dennett | Wherever there is a design that is highly successful in a broad range of similar environments, it is apt to emerge again and again, independently - the phenomenon known in biology as convergent evolution. I call these designs 'good tricks.' | 109 |
Donald Norman | User-centered design means working with your users all throughout the project. | 109 |
Donna Karan | Design and style should work toward making you look good and feel good without a lot of effort so you can get on with the things that matter. | 109 |
Iain McGilchrist | The genome was once thought to be just the blueprint for a living organism, like a combination of the architect's plan for a building and the builder's list of supplies. It specified the parts, the building blocks, and, somehow, the design of the whole, the way in which they are to be put together. | 109 |
Kourtney Kardashian | I would love to design a maternity clothing line. It is so hard to find stylish clothes for pregnant people... I would say 99 percent of the clothes I wore were not maternity because I couldn't find anything I liked. | 109 |
Lawrence M. Krauss | The illusion of purpose and design is perhaps the most pervasive illusion about nature that science has to confront on a daily basis. | 109 |
Orville Wright | In just six weeks from the time the design was started, we had the motor on the block testing its power. | 109 |
Paloma Picasso | I think, aesthetically, car design is so interesting - the dashboards, the steering wheels, and the beauty of the mechanics. I don't know how any of it works, I don't want to know, but it's inspirational. | 109 |
Richard Rogers | There is no one-size-fits-all solution to the challenges facing our cities or to the housing crisis, but the two issues need to be considered together. From an urban design and planning point of view, the well-connected open city is a powerful paradigm and an engine for integration and inclusivity. | 109 |
Stefan Sagmeister | Some people said, 'Oh you're going to become a fine artist now and do exhibits and stuff.' But I have no desire to do that. I really like design and I'm going to stay with it. | 109 |
Yves Behar | Design needs a new relationship with the world, one that is more focused on our planet's needs. | 109 |
Alexandra Stoddard | Don't feel you have to buy something to sit in or at. Buy something you are emotionally attached to and build your design around that. One Matisse cutout poster could provide you with your whole color scheme! | 109 |
Claudia Schiffer | I've learned a tremendous amount over the years by watching designers work. I now have a good understanding of what sits well on the body, not to mention the importance of a great cut and quality. | 109 |
Douglas Wilson | In two days, it's hard to to get the quality you would normally want for a design project. | 109 |
Michael Dell | The interesting thing is when we design and architect a server, we don't design it for Windows or Linux, we design it for both. We don't really care, as long as we're selling the one the customer wants. | 109 |
Michael Sandel | When I arrived at Harvard, I wanted to design a course in political theory that would have interested me, back when I was started out, in a way that the standard things didn't. | 109 |
Pauley Perrette | I love math. I have little secret number tattoos everywhere. I design them. | 109 |
Steve Ballmer | Accessible design is good design. | 109 |
Thom Browne | It is so important to be really true to yourself in design, and I am. | 109 |
William A. Dembski | Precisely because intelligent design does not turn the study of biological origins into a Bible-science controversy, intelligent design is a position around which Christians of all stripes can unite. | 109 |
Genevieve Gorder | That was always my frustration with so many of these shows, because design is not an ambush... it's a relationship. You have to know how people move and live and work to be able to design for them. | 109 |
John Piper | We look at life from the back side of the tapestry. And most of the time, what we see is loose threads, tangled knots and the like. But occasionally, God's light shines through the tapestry, and we get a glimpse of the larger design with God weaving together the darks and lights of existence. | 109 |
Martin Filler | Considering my specialization in architecture, I'm not surprised that the first graphic novel to thoroughly engage, not to say captivate, me is Chip Kidd and Dave Taylor's 'Batman: Death by Design.' | 109 |
Michael Graves | Good design to me is both appearance and functionality together. It's the experience that makes it good design. | 109 |
Taylor Wilson | Everybody after Fukushima had to reassess the safety of nuclear. When I set out to design a reactor, I knew it had to be passive and intrinsically safe. | 109 |
Michael Behe | We are not inferring design to account for a black box, but to account for an open box. | 109 |
Trudi Canavan | I wound up studying art and design, got a job at Lonely Planet Publications as a designer, cartographer and illustrator. | 109 |
John Romero | It is very important to lead the field and innovate in game design. | 109 |
Jonathan Mayhew | I now add, farther, that the apostle's argument is so far from proving it to be the duty of people to obey, and submit to, such rulers as act in contradiction to the public good, and so to the design of their office, that it proves the direct contrary. | 109 |
Michael Ende | No architect troubled to design houses that suited people who were to live in them, because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and, above all, timesaving to make them identical. | 109 |
Jonathan Hickman | My overall artistic goal is to marry graphic design with comic books and traditional storytelling. | 109 |
Coco Chanel | Fashion fades, only style remains the same. | 110 |
Jim Rohn | If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much. | 110 |
Vera Wang | My closet is organized by tops, pants, and outerwear, but not a lot of dresses. Gowns are in another room because I don't often dress formally, even though I design gowns. Like most designers, I have a uniform, and mine is a legging. | 110 |
David Hockney | Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus. | 110 |
Donna Karan | Design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical with the desirable. | 110 |
Jonathan Ive | It's a very strange thing for a designer to say, but one of the things that really irritates me in products is when I'm aware of designers wagging their tails in my face. | 110 |
Kathy Ireland | The only thing Martha and I have in common is that we both used to model. Martha Stewart is extremely talented. Her designs are picture perfect. Our philosophy is life is messy, and rather than being afraid of those messes we design products that work the way we live. | 110 |
Marilyn French | To nourish children and raise them against odds is in any time, any place, is more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons. | 110 |
Tony Fadell | I knew a lot about product design before coming to Apple, but I didn't understand a lot about consumer experience design, which is really Apple's forte. | 110 |
Gary Gygax | Gaming in general is a male thing. It isn't that gaming is designed to exclude women. Everybody who's tried to design a game to interest a large female audience has failed. And I think that has to do with the different thinking processes of men and women. | 110 |
Henry Petroski | It seems to be a law of design that for every advantage introduced through redesign, there is an accompanying unintended disadvantage. | 110 |
William A. Dembski | There is an immediate payoff to intelligent design: it destroys the atheistic legacy of Darwinian evolution. Intelligent design makes it impossible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist. | 110 |
Candice Olson | When I'm doing kitchen planning as well as bathroom design, I try to walk through the day with the homeowner. If we're talking about a kitchen, it will be: So, we are walking in with the groceries. When we are taking them out of the car, where will they go? What is the distance to fridge, to pantry? | 110 |
Dries van Noten | In the design process, there's a need to be culturally comprehensive. | 110 |
Genevieve Gorder | It's about the power of design and the power of the human spirit. It's above paying anybody to do something stupid for money like reality television does - like ambushing people. | 110 |
Ben Parr | What can we learn from the battle between data and design? What can we learn from the relationship between Google and Apple? Clearly no one school of thought is right: Apple and Google are both wildly successful and profitable companies that changed the world. | 110 |
Bruce Oldfield | I've generally got a good eye for design and proportion. | 110 |
Roman Coppola | That's a hobby of mine - to do whatever I can for unusual for-hire creative projects. I am waiting for someone to really challenge me - obviously I'm often approached to do film related work, but I would be very happy to design a bar or an amusement park ride. I would love to be an imagineer! | 110 |
Amy Waldman | So the premise of 'The Submission' is that there's an anonymous competition to design a 9/11 memorial and it's won by an American Muslim, an architect born and raised in Virginia, and his name is Mohammad Khan. | 110 |
Brenda Laurel | When you work with web design companies in San Francisco, you end up with a bunch of twenty-somethings who have their own cultural peculiarities, including obscurity for its own sake. You give those guys a website for a banking institution and they screw it up, because they are designing for themselves. | 110 |
John Maeda | Anyone with a computer and a design program can create a page layout. But unless you're trained in design, it won't look very good and it won't communicate very well. | 110 |
Richard Steele | It is to be noted that when any part of this paper appears dull there is a design in it. | 110 |
Steve Madden | My strengths as a businessman lie in the design and sale of women's shoes, and I have never been comfortable with complicated or technical legal or business documents. | 110 |
Jil Sander | Initially, it was the unpractical in fashion that brought me to design my own line. I felt that it was much more attractive to cut clothes with respect for the living, three-dimensional body rather than to cover the body with decorative ideas. | 110 |
Douglas Adams | A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. | 111 |
Charles Eames | To whom does design address itself: to the greatest number, to the specialist of an enlightened matter, to a privileged social class? Design addresses itself to the need. | 111 |
Donald Norman | Everyday people are not very good designers. | 111 |
Edith Head | A designer is only as good as the star who wears her clothes. | 111 |
Zoey Deutch | Borderline embarrassing fact: I used to have a pseudo line when I was seven called Zizzy Fashion. I love clothing, and I would eventually like to design as well as act. | 111 |
Bryan Batt | I always wanted to be an actor, but I always loved design, and growing up in New Orleans there was such great style, great architecture. I would decorate my little apartment in New York over and over again, because it only had a couple of rooms. And I did it for friends and family on the side just for fun. | 111 |
Colleen Atwood | Costume design allows you to do a different type of research and create characters, whereas in fashion, you create an image and clothing for the masses. | 111 |
David Carson | The dreaded phrase in design circles is 'show and tell.' | 111 |
Gail Kelly | I'm a big believer you should design work around a vast majority of people who want to do the right thing rather than around the tiny minority who might take advantage. | 111 |
Jamais Cascio | With increasing fervor since the 1980s, sustainability has been the watchword of scientists, environmental activists, and indeed all those concerned about the complex, fragile systems on the sphere we inhabit. It has shaped debates about business, design, and our lifestyles. | 111 |
Greg Lynn | To go back to architecture, what's organic about architecture as a field, unlike product design, is this whole issue of holism and of monumentality is really our realm. Like, we have to design things which are coherent as a single object, but also break down into small rooms and have an identity of both the big scale and the small scale. | 111 |
Hod Lipson | Similar to computer technology in the '60s, 3-D printing is a universal technology that has the potential to revolutionize our life by enabling individuals to design and manufacture things. | 111 |
Jay Samit | Design is how you make your first impression with your consumers. Make sure it is a lasting one. | 111 |
Ken Adam | I always wanted to design for films. | 111 |
Mike Fitzpatrick | Internet safety begins at home and that is why my legislation would require the Federal Trade Commission to design and publish a unique website to serve as a clearinghouse and resource for parents, teachers and children for information on the dangers of surfing the Internet. | 111 |
Miranda Richardson | I like the personality of the Belgians. They're deeply eccentric, which is something that comes across in their design - terrific. | 111 |
Richard Powers | I write the way you might arrange flowers. Not every try works, but each one launches another. Every constraint, even dullness, frees up a new design. | 111 |
Stephen J. Cannell | My dad was an interior design and furniture person. I started working with him for four years before my first TV writing break. | 111 |
Brian Selznick | I majored in illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design, although I never had any intention of being an illustrator and didn't take any classes in illustration there. It was just that the illustration degree had no requirements. | 111 |
John Maeda | In the '70s and '80s there was an attempt in K-12 to teach science through art or art through science. The challenge today is how do you build the ethos of art and design into the academy of science. | 111 |
John Baldacci | There is a lot of interest in the arts, music, theatre, filmmaking, engineering, architecture and software design. I think we have now transitioned the modern-day version of the entrepreneur into the creative economy. | 111 |
Daniel J. Boorstin | An image is not simply a trademark, a design, a slogan or an easily remembered picture. It is a studiously crafted personality profile of an individual, institution, corporation, product or service. | 112 |
Donald Norman | I prefer design by experts - by people who know what they are doing. | 112 |
Friedrich August von Hayek | The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design. | 112 |
Herodotus | Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; While others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before. | 112 |
Norman Foster | I describe the design process as like the tip of the iceberg. What you don't see is the long haul: all the endless auditing and things like that. | 112 |
Paul Farmer | We have to design a health delivery system by actually talking to people and asking, 'What would make this service better for you?' As soon as you start asking, you get a flood of answers. | 112 |
Robert Collier | Every contrivance of man, every tool, every instrument, every utensil, every article designed for use, of each and every kind, evolved from a very simple beginnings. | 112 |
Roger Staubach | At our company, our Design and Construction Consulting Service Team not only helps eliminate the risks inherent in the construction process, they typically save our clients 5% - 10% on overall construction costs. They also help make sure projects come in on time. | 112 |
Tyler, The Creator | I'm not into fashion, but I like design. I wear the same shoes every day. | 112 |
Yves Behar | The best design work is really done when you spend more time with people, when you have the opportunity to be of the same mindset and the same incentives as the founder of the business. | 112 |
Gary Hamel | At the pinnacle of great design are products so gorgeous and lust-worthy that you want to lick them: a Porsche 911, Samsung's Luxia TV, an Eames lounge chair or anything by Loro Piana. | 112 |
Henry Petroski | Any design, whether it's for a ship or an airplane, must be done in anticipation of potential failures. | 112 |
Kenneth R. Miller | 'Intelligent Design,' the relabeled, repackaged form of American creationism, has always had a problem. It just can't seem to produce any evidence. | 112 |
Kevin Kelly | Organisms by their design are not made to adapt too far. | 112 |
Niklaus Wirth | Clearly, programming courses should teach methods of design and construction, and the selected examples should be such that a gradual development can be nicely demonstrated. | 112 |
Weili Dai | Women have their own strengths, like fashion. In technology, we can contribute in a big way in terms of the design of the user interface. | 112 |
Eva Zeisel | Men have no concept of how to design things for the home. Women should design the things they use. | 112 |
Jason Wu | I came from product design originally - I had been designing dolls for a toy company since I was 16 - so I'm used to working with plastic and different things. I had an innate interest in objects. | 112 |
Marc Newson | Well, I never studied design and I went to art school to study art, you know, sculpture and things like that, and ended up making things like sculpture and started making chairs and jewelry together and that's how I started. | 112 |
Michael Graves | In designing hardware to be used every day, it was important to keep both the human aspects and the machine in mind. What looks good also often feels good. | 112 |
Steven Chu | By the fourth grade, I graduated to an erector set and spent many happy hours constructing devices of unknown purpose where the main design criterion was to maximize the number of moving parts and overall size. | 112 |
Jane Mayer | Well, yes, I mean, I think that, you know, my sources suggest that there's a lot of support for the notion that there is a lot of Koran abuse and that it was very much a systematic design, not just an aberration. | 112 |
P. J. O'Rourke | The great majority of Baghdad is a slum - a lot of it's new, but it's still slum. It's usually this concrete-block, one-room design with a door and a window, arranged one-up, one-down, often with a shop with nothing in it on the first floor, and then a one-room apartment above it. There's street after street after street of that stuff. | 113 |
Daniel H. Pink | Studying design has made me a much, much more astute observer of this aspect of business. And I'm working mightily to improve my empathic skills. I've dramatically improved my ability to read facial expressions - and I'm trying to be a better, more attentive listener. | 113 |
Jean Cocteau | The actual tragedies of life bear no relation to one's preconceived ideas. In the event, one is always bewildered by their simplicity, their grandeur of design, and by that element of the bizarre which seems inherent in them. | 113 |
Jonathan Ive | I discovered at an early age that all I've ever wanted to do is design. | 113 |
Mark McKinnon | America glories in its tradition of the self-made individual. Political candidates compete to be a friend to entrepreneurs, and policymakers, imagining the next Microsoft or Google, design laws to back the innovator in the garage. | 113 |
Sophia Bush | So, I'm always around video games but I've always been interested in them from a visual perspective, with the graphic design and that whole thing. I don't know if that comes from my love of photography or what but that's always what's held my interest about them. | 113 |
Stefan Sagmeister | I run a design studio in New York. Every seven years, I close it for one year to pursue some little experiments, things that are always difficult to accomplish during the regular working year. In that year, we are not available for any of our clients. We are totally closed. And as you can imagine, it is a lovely and very energetic time. | 113 |
Terence | Perhaps believing in good design is like believing in God, it makes you an optimist. | 113 |
Thomas J. Watson | Design must reflect the practical and aesthetic in business but above all... good design must primarily serve people. | 113 |
Tony Fadell | Nest really came out of a process where I was trying to design the most connected and the most green home that I knew of. I was curious of just about everything that goes into a home and building a home. | 113 |
Venus Williams | Interior design is a business of trust. | 113 |
Yves Behar | Having one foot in design and the other in sustainable and social projects, I hear this question quite often: 'Why does the world need another chair?' My answer is that the world needs another chair/bicycle/car or any new product for that matter, like the world needs another book. | 113 |
David Carson | I'm experimenting in public. At the design grad schools, these are people sitting around in groups, putting their work on a wall, analyzing it and putting it back in a drawer. I think there's little risk in that. | 113 |
Kenneth R. Miller | The scientific argument advanced for intelligent design at the Dover trial, those arguments collapsed, scientifically and intellectually. | 113 |
Mark Helprin | The craftless anarchy of the Beat poets on the one hand, and the extreme control of Henry James on the other, suggest that for most human beings, just as both freedom and discipline are necessary in life, serendipity and design must coexist in a work to make it readable. | 113 |
Peter Zumthor | I design for the use of a building and the place and for the people who use it... the reputation for arrogance comes because when work is offered to me, I look whether I can find a genuine interest in quality. | 113 |
Taylor Schilling | My guilty pleasure is I like to watch a lot of HGTV. I really like watching design shows about houses, like extreme homes. Like buying a bridge and turning it into a house or something like that. I really am interested in home design or something like that... architecture. | 113 |
William A. Dembski | Give us detailed, testable, mechanistic accounts for the origin of life, the origin of the genetic code, the origin of ubiquitous bio macromolecules and assemblages like the ribosome, and the origin of molecular machines like the bacterial flagellum, and intelligent design will die a quick and painless death. | 113 |
David Coverdale | When I was very, very young, seven years old, I heard there was school where you could go to learn to draw. That was my absolute driven passion, to become an artist or a painter. So the romantic realist in me, I studied to be a graphic design artist and an art teacher. | 113 |
Laz Alonso | I love HGTV. I love working on my house and have really been bit by the 'luxury remodeling' bug. 'Million Dollar Rooms,' 'Million Dollar Listing'... any show that can give me design inspiration, I soak it in and try my hand at it. Home Depot is my second home! | 113 |
Said Sayrafiezadeh | The year the bus drivers went on strike in Pittsburgh, I was twenty-three and living on the edge of the city in a neighborhood that was on the verge of becoming a ghetto. I had just been fired from a good job as a cartographer in a design studio where I had worked for about four months. | 113 |
John Katzman | I studied to be an architect. And I find tremendous similarities between building a company and the design process. Businesses have to do their planning on the fly in a fashion similar to an architect sketching. | 113 |
Steve Jobs | Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works. | 114 |
Vera Wang | Let's be realistic, how many people are buying a $2,000 skirt? I love to design things that people can actually buy. I'm staggered by what a boot costs today. | 114 |
Betsey Johnson | I used to design for my body, which was flat-chested with big hips. That's why my clothes were tight on top with full skirts. | 114 |
Charlie Puth | I've always made weird sounds with my mouth. I've always been fascinated by the sound design, what you can do with your mouth. I was the kid dancing around in third grade on the basketball court. While everyone would be playing sports, I would be jumping around. | 114 |
Christopher Alexander | Complexity is one of the great problems in environmental design. | 114 |
Jim Henson | At the University of Maryland, my first year I started off planning to major in art because I was interested in theatre design, stage design or television design. | 114 |
Kinky Friedman | How can you look at the Texas legislature and still believe in intelligent design? | 114 |
Linus Torvalds | Hey, I'm a good software engineer, but I'm not exactly known for my fashion sense. White socks and sandals don't translate to 'good design sense'. | 114 |
Olivier Theyskens | I am interested in the idea of 'taste.' And by 'taste,' I mean opinion, inspiration and the craft of creating a personality through fabric and design. | 114 |
Paloma Picasso | I have always been interested in design, but in the beginning I didn't set out to make jewelry specifically. | 114 |
Paul Rand | If I was influenced by anything, it was architecture: structure having to do with logic. If you don't do it right, the whole thing is going to cave in. In a certain sense, you can carry that to graphic design. Fortunately, however, nobody is going to die if you do it wrong. | 114 |
Tory Burch | For me, if I can design beautiful things that have the price be lower, I am thrilled. | 114 |
Venus Williams | The principle of the design - the harmony, rhythm and balance are all the same with interior and fashion design. | 114 |
Christian Lacroix | They say that the best furniture and clothing design from the '50s and '60s is Scandinavian or Milanese. | 114 |
Douglas Wilson | Being in the design industry, I've tended to meet more people who are affected by HIV and AIDS. | 114 |
Henry Petroski | You can almost say that a design error is a human error because, after all, it's we humans who do the designing. | 114 |
Marc Jacobs | We don't design by calculator or by demographics or anything like that. We really are a group of creative, sensitive people. We have our charmed little world where we get to make things. We're really lucky. | 114 |
Arne Jacobsen | The primary factor is proportions. | 114 |
Bre Pettis | One of the criticisms we get is, 'Does the world need more plastic crap?' But you have to look beyond the plastic crap, to the design, to the experience, to the empowering nature of the MakerBot and the community. | 114 |
Jaron Lanier | The wisdom of crowds works when the crowd is choosing the price of an ox, when there's a single numeric average. But if it's a design or something that matters, the decision is made by committee, and that's crap. You want people and groups who are able to think thoughts before they share. | 114 |
Marc Ostrofsky | Traditional horizontal search engines cannot always identify the target audience, niche or vertical industry of a page or site. Vertical search engines address this issue by the nature of their design. They identify sites according to more specific criteria and sometimes even by human input. | 114 |
Mary Astell | But, alas! what poor Woman is ever taught that she should have a higher Design than to get her a Husband? | 114 |
Bonnie Wright | I'm really not for famous people who design a line for a company, when you know it's not really them creating it but a team of designers, especially when there are so many talented people who've taken the time to go and study fashion. | 114 |
David Chipperfield | I like to be surrounded by books. My wife Evelyn has a Ph.D. in comparative literature, so we have a lot of her Spanish and German literature books which are wasted on me, plus a lot of novels and books on art and architecture shared by us both. Evelyn used to edit an art magazine called 'FMR,' so we have a common interest in design. | 114 |
Moshe Safdie | I'm completely taken and impressed by the planning authority of Singapore and its Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). It's the most cutting-edge agency in the world. They have very effective guidelines for development, and they review design as it evolves. | 114 |
Robert Shea | Just as predatory animals follow a similar general design and behave in similar ways, so organizations, especially those in competition with one another, must follow certain design principles if they are to succeed and prevail. | 114 |
Ron Ben-Israel | We used to be referred to as bakers and then we became known as cake decorators and now we are known as cake designers. I teach at the French Culinary Institute in New York and cake design is a legitimate profession. | 114 |
Malcolm Fraser | Three years ago the Government announced the creation of Reconciliation Place, and said that it would include a memorial to those removed from their families. However, they refused to include any of those who were removed in the design of their own memorial. | 114 |
Jil Sander | It may sound ambitious, but I really hope that modern design will spread all around the globe. | 114 |
Steve Jobs | Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works. | 115 |
Elon Musk | Any product that needs a manual to work is broken. | 115 |
George Santayana | Graphic design is the paradise of individuality, eccentricity, heresy, abnormality, hobbies and humors. | 115 |
Anne Hathaway | I think fashion is a lot of fun. I love clothes. More than fashion or brand labels, I love design. I love the thought that people put into clothes. I love when clothes make cultural statements and I think personal style is really cool. I also freely recognize that fashion should be a hobby. | 115 |
Christy Turlington | Sacred spaces can be created in any environment. | 115 |
Jamie Oliver | If you only design menus that are essentially junk or fast food, the whole infrastructure supports junk. | 115 |
Kelly Wearstler | Informed clients are better clients, and they make for better design. | 115 |
Kevin McCloud | Building design isn't trendy. | 115 |
Oscar Niemeyer | There is no reason to design buildings that are more basic and rectilinear, because with concrete you can cover almost any space. | 115 |
Paul Rand | Good design doesn't date. Bad design does. | 115 |
Edward Tufte | Beautiful Evidence is about the theory and practice of analytical design. | 115 |
John Carmack | Developing games for the PC and consoles is all about everything and the kitchen sink. In many ways, you don't have design decisions to make. You do it all. So I enjoy going back to making decisions about what's important as I'm working on a game. | 115 |
Martin Rees | In our interconnected world, novel technology could empower just one fanatic, or some weirdo with a mindset of those who now design computer viruses, to trigger some kind of disaster. Indeed, catastrophe could arise simply from technical misadventure - error rather than terror. | 115 |
Neil Marshall | I always wanted to be a filmmaker and became one through sheer single-mindedness. I came to filmmaking from a background in graphic design. I went to film school at Newcastle Polytechnic. | 115 |
Niklaus Wirth | But active programming consists of the design of new programs, rather than contemplation of old programs. | 115 |
Simon Schama | Sculptures created from found materials like ice and thorns, driftwood, and even bleached kangaroo bones all presuppose that artistic design will yield to the cycles of time and climate, whether over an hour or a decade. | 115 |
William A. Dembski | Intelligent design, unlike creationism, is a science in its own right and can stand on its own feet. | 115 |
Anurag Kashyap | Independent graphic novelists have already achieved good work in terms of design, but all these great minds are writing in English. There is a need for people to write in Hindi. | 115 |
Candice Olson | Great French design is often about unexpected touches. | 115 |
Charles Bass | The United States government first learned of the diversion of the W-88 nuclear warhead design in late 1995. | 115 |
Janine Benyus | Biomimicry is basically taking a design challenge and then finding an ecosystem that's already solved that challenge, and literally trying to emulate what you learn. | 115 |
Jay Samit | Whether by design or circumstance, every startup will eventually get disrupted. | 115 |
David Chipperfield | I do quite like Gehry's Guggenheim. But where in Bilbao it's seen as an outgrowth of years of investment in urban design and engineering, in Britain it's seen as the catalyst for urban regeneration rather than the icing on the cake. | 115 |
John Maeda | Videogames are indeed design: They're sophisticated virtual machines that echo the mechanical systems inside cars. | 115 |
Robert Moog | The point is that I don't design stuff for myself. I'm a toolmaker. I design things that other people want to use. | 115 |
Les Brown | We must look for ways to be an active force in our own lives. We must take charge of our own destinies, design a life of substance and truly begin to live our dreams. | 116 |
Samuel Johnson | Many things difficult to design prove easy to performance. | 116 |
ASAP Rocky | Design my own line? No, I just like the culture. | 116 |
Charles Eames | In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route. | 116 |
Diane von Furstenberg | There's design, and there's art. Good design is total harmony. There's no better designer than nature - if you look at a branch or a leaf, it's perfect. It's all function. Art is different. It's about emotion. It's about suffering and beauty - but mostly suffering! | 116 |
Donald Norman | Also note that invariably when we design something that can be used by those with disabilities, we often make it better for everyone. | 116 |
Giorgio Armani | I design for real people. I think of our customers all the time. There is no virtue whatsoever in creating clothing or accessories that are not practical. | 116 |
Jonathan Ive | Apple's goal isn't to make money. Our goal is to design and develop and bring to market good products. | 116 |
Kim Campbell | For me, unemployment and poverty in the Greater Montreal area is not mainly a problem of structure, or design, or statistics. It is a profoundly human situation. | 116 |
Peter York | By the late Nineties, we had become a more visual nation. Big-money taste moved to global standards - new architecture, design and show-off contemporary art. The Sloane domestic aesthetic - symmetry, class symbolism and brown furniture - became as unfashionable as it had been hot in the early Eighties. | 116 |
Ralph Lauren | The clothes that I design and everything I've done is about life and how people live and how they want to live and how they dream they'll live. That's what I do. | 116 |
Tadao Ando | All those involved in the construction of an architectural design, from the architect to the builder, have an attachment to the architecture, although it's difficult to quantify the attachment. | 116 |
Twiggy | I'd love there to be more larger models, but it's just not going to happen. Designers love to design for slim girls. | 116 |
Valentino Garavani | I am always locked in my design studio. | 116 |
Yves Behar | When clients come to my design agency and say 'I want to be the Apple of this or that,' we say 'Okay, are you ready to be the Steve Jobs?' Few are up to the task. | 116 |
Douglas Wilson | A challenge always is good. Normal design does not come under the constraints of a small budget and time frame. But it has helped me to make quick and knowledgeable decisions. | 116 |
Ken Jennings | The Final Jeopardy! questions seem to be, by design, things you can't know. And so it's not about who knows them, but who can figure them out in thirty seconds. | 116 |
Marc Jacobs | Whether it's an $11 flip-flop or a $2 key ring or a $2,000 dress, they're all done with integrity. They're all done with a design sense. As long as the creativity exists, then I don't think it's a sellout. A sellout is putting your name on any piece of crap and then expecting people to buy it because it's got your name on it. | 116 |
Afrojack | I have been fully involved in designing my stage shows; it's important to me to do something really unique and almost off-the-wall to bring the music and the visuals together. I love design and actually went to school for a bit for graphic design, so it isn't so much 'pressure' for me; it's a way to be creative, and I really enjoy it. | 116 |
K. Eric Drexler | I had been impressed by the fact that biological systems were based on molecular machines and that we were learning to design and build these sorts of things. | 116 |
Peter Eisenman | I don't design houses with the nuclear family idea because I don't believe in it as a concept. | 116 |
Bill Gates | If you have 50 different plug types, appliances wouldn't be available and would be very expensive. But once an electric outlet becomes standardized, many companies can design appliances, and competition ensues, creating variety and better prices for consumers. | 117 |
David A. Bednar | By divine design, men and women are intended to progress together toward perfection and a fulness of glory. Because of their distinctive temperaments and capacities, males and females each bring to a marriage relationship unique perspectives and experiences. | 117 |
Norman Foster | Everything we design is a response to the specific climate and culture of a particular place. | 117 |
Paul Rand | Design is everything. Everything! | 117 |
Stephen Gardiner | The garden, by design, is concerned with both the interior and the land beyond the garden. | 117 |
Tom Brokaw | When he entered the Oval Office - by fate, not by design - Citizen Ford knew that he was not perfect, just as he knew he was not perfect when he left. But what president ever was? | 117 |
Tom Ford | I love to design. I am a commercial fashion designer. I always design jackets with two sleeves. I don't design jackets with three sleeves, or the layers and layers come off like little dolls from Russia. Fashion for me is a creative endeavor, but it is not art for me. | 117 |
Yves Behar | What I learned from my years in Silicon Valley is that design can have a primary role in how a business is shaped, how a company can be design-driven. In my experience of large industry in Europe, that knowledge has been lost. | 117 |
Ashley Madekwe | I've teamed up with BaubleBar to curate a collection of gorgeous jewelry pieces. I worked closely with the BaubleBar team to design a collection that encompasses my style and all of my go to pieces. | 117 |
Michael Shermer | Through no divine design or cosmic plan, we have inherited the mantle of life's caretaker on the earth, the only home we have ever known. | 117 |
Tom Watson | If a course needs to be in great condition to be played effectively, then the design strategy is flawed. | 117 |
Jamie Bamber | I love Prada shirts because they're so decorative and figure-hugging, but I also like Reiss shirts because they're clean, simple and look as if they've come off the peg from a design house. | 117 |
David Hume | A purpose, an intention, a design, strikes everywhere even the careless, the most stupid thinker. | 118 |
Ang Lee | Summer blockbusters are very expensive to make. They have things that have to be expensive, such as 600 effects shots or CG characters that have to go a certain way, or a film design that is different but expensive. | 118 |
Carroll Shelby | I don't design cars. I'm not a designer. I know what I desire to be built, I know what the end result is, the horsepower, the competition we'll be working against - but I leave it to the people who work with me to put it all together. I don't do anything. | 118 |
Craig Venter | Agriculture as we know it needs to disappear. We can design better and healthier proteins than we get from nature. | 118 |
David Rockefeller | The Japanese have a wonderful sense of design and a refinement in their art. They try to produce beautiful paintings with the minimum number of strokes. | 118 |
Harbhajan Singh | I am honoured to be associated with a brand like Movado. It believes in the art of design and is known for its perfection worldwide. I have strong faith in the pursuit of perfection. I am looking forward to a long association. | 118 |
Kelly Wearstler | There is a voice, and there is a DNA to how I design. | 118 |
Stefan Sagmeister | I had given a presentation on design and happiness for quite a long while at design conferences. I had found thinking about the topic helpful for my own practice, as it forced me to consider the fundamentals, and the feedback from the audience was always enthusiastic. | 118 |
Chad Hurley | I try to absorb all types of style and design. I don't try and restrict my thinking. I enjoy the old and the new. You need that broad perspective to create something different. | 118 |
Clive Thompson | The genius idea of industrialism was the concept of the Model T: In exchange for something cheap and well-made, we'd forgo unique, lovely design. | 118 |
Colleen Atwood | The exposure I have had to beautiful materials across the world, from Japan to Italy, enables me to pull design ideas together. This, combined with years of historical research, has created a great fountain of ideas for me. | 118 |
Kenneth R. Miller | The argument for intelligent design basically depends on saying, 'You haven't answered every question with evolution,'... Well, guess what? Science can't answer every question. | 118 |
Raf Simons | As an industrial designer, you design the thing by yourself, and then it goes away from you, whereas fashion is in constant relation to the body and to psychology. It makes it more complicated, and it makes it more challenging. | 118 |
Ramez Naam | The accumulated knowledge of materials, computing, electromagnetism, product design, and all the rest that we've learned over the last several centuries converts a few ounces of raw materials worth mere pennies into a device with more computing power than the entire planet possessed fifty years ago. | 118 |
Marc Newson | People kind of tend to mystify design and architecture by suggesting you need to train. | 118 |
Michael Arad | For two years nobody talked about anything other than the name arrangement. There was no fund-raising and no progress being made on construction and design. | 118 |
John Dyer | While I was at college studying design I decided to paint. I was also greatly inspired by the colours that I had seen on my travels in the Brazilian Rain forest. | 118 |
Donald Norman | Readers always seem to think that the author has some control over the design of their books. | 119 |
Francisco Costa | Each season I strive to design a forward-thinking and effortless collection with a very clean minimalist aesthetic. | 119 |
Frank Gehry | A lot of people don't get it, but I design from the inside out so that the finished product looks inevitable somehow. I think it's important to create spaces that people like to be in, that are humanistic. | 119 |
Frank Zappa | The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows. | 119 |
Isabella Rossellini | I graduated from Academy of Fashion and Costume Design in Rome. At first, I thought I was going to be a costume designer for films, and then I ended up working in fashion - not as a designer, but mostly as a model. | 119 |
Kathy Ireland | Martha Stewart is extremely talented. Her designs are picture perfect. Our philosophy is life is messy, and rather than being afraid of those messes we design products that work the way we live. | 119 |
Lena Headey | Nothing I do is by design. It's always the result of a happy accident. I didn't have a career plan. It has just become the way it is. It's all good fun. | 119 |
Kenneth R. Miller | The new strategy is to teach intelligent design without calling it intelligent design. | 119 |
Dhani Harrison | Websites are kind of useless. There's so much great web content and design out there, but the ways in which they are being experienced are not being maximized. | 119 |
Ralph Bakshi | One of the best animated films I've seen come out of Disney was the Tarzan movie. I wasn't crazy about the story or the design on Tarzan's face, but the traditional animation was spectacular. | 119 |
Ron Lewis | We must carefully consider card security solutions, such as adding photographs or machine-readable electronic strips, so to prevent further breaches of individual privacy that could result from changes to the design of Social Security Cards. | 119 |
Christian Louboutin | People say I am the king of painful shoes. I don't want to create painful shoes, but it is not my job to create something comfortable. I try to make high heels as comfortable as they can be, but my priority is design, beauty and sexiness. I'm not against them, but comfort is not my focus. | 120 |
Debbie Ford | We are spiritual beings whether we want to admit it or not, and inherent in our DNA is a design to return us home - home to our true essence, our greatest self, our limitless self. | 120 |
Francisco Costa | I'm inspired by many things, from landscapes to textiles. Art and architecture always influence my design process. | 120 |
James Dyson | I don't design down to a price. | 120 |
Kathy Ireland | I won't give up my day job of design. | 120 |
Lance Armstrong | Obviously, I come from one background, and the people that design fitness equipment have been doing it for years and years, and they know what works and doesn't work. | 120 |
Peter Singer | Most of the robots being developed for home use are functional in design - Gecko's homecare robot looks rather like the Star Wars robot R2-D2. Honda and Sony are designing robots that look more like the same movie's 'android' C-3PO. | 120 |
Arthur Erickson | The details are the very source of expression in architecture. But we are caught in a vice between art and the bottom line. | 120 |
Drew Gilpin Faust | I often read nonfiction with a pencil in hand. I love the feel, the smell, the design, the weight of a book, but I also enjoy the convenience of my Kindle - for travel and for procuring a book in seconds. | 120 |
Henry Petroski | Everything we do is designed, whether we're producing a magazine, a website, or a bridge. Design is really the creative invention that designs everything. | 120 |
Mohamed ElBaradei | Whether one believes in evolution, intelligent design, or Divine Creation, one thing is certain. Since the beginning of history, human beings have been at war with each other, under the pretext of religion, ideology, ethnicity and other reasons. And no civilization has ever willingly given up its most powerful weapons. | 120 |
Steve Albini | We have no general conceptual thrust for the band, other than trying to make music that keeps our interest. When things are novel, they are probably things we have discovered by accident or investigation rather than by design. | 120 |
Erin Wasson | I don't have a background in design, so I think it's always about what I see in the world and what inspires me. So yes, I am designing for myself. I'm going through this whole evolution, which is a process of growing up and going from modeling to styling to designing. | 120 |
David Chipperfield | I do very little industrial design. I'm asked a lot, but I certainly don't see myself as an industrial designer. | 120 |
Jason Wu | There is always going to be that luxury customer out there. I have clients who buy $10,000 dresses and clients who buy $60 dresses. It's not so much about the money. Design is a mentality. | 120 |
Joe Jonas | I had a faux-hawk for a while and I used to buzz the sides and design it. It was really bad. | 120 |
Malcolm Mclaren | Through all aspects of society be it art, design, the financial markets, government, technology or communications we are witnessing unprecedented global transformation - the result of which is impossible to predict. | 120 |
Marc Newson | Design schools are good, I guess, sometimes I visit schools, but they are very very limiting. | 120 |
Jaime Lerner | The design of a city is like a strange archeology. | 120 |
Ai Weiwei | I see the Beijing National Stadium as an architectural project. I accepted Herzog and De Meuron's invitation to collaborate on the design, and our proposal won the competition. From beginning to end, I stayed with the project. I am committed to fostering relationships between a city and its architecture. | 121 |
Gabe Newell | Ninety percent of games lose money; 10 percent make a lot of money. And there's a consistency around the competitive advantages you create, so if you can actually learn how to do the art, the design, and the programming, you would be consistently very profitable. | 121 |
Jim Henson | I was very interested in theatre, mostly in stage design. I did a little bit of acting. | 121 |
Kendall Jenner | I definitely want to design clothes at one point. | 121 |
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe | A chair is a very difficult object. A skyscraper is almost easier. That is why Chippendale is famous. | 121 |
Peter Diamandis | My personal fascination with the power of the crowd has been growing: Exactly what can a 'crowd' accomplish? We know crowds can raise billions of dollars, create Wikipedia, and even design and build small autonomous drones. But how about something large and complex like designing a new car, and maybe someday even a spaceship? | 121 |
Renzo Piano | When you design a building, you start from a general philosophy, and you come down, and you start from detail and come up. Only the theoretical architect believes that you can make the concept and then sometime, somebody will come to build it. | 121 |
Robin S. Sharma | The fears you do not face become your walls. Most people in business, and in their personal lives, design everything so they can avoid doing what makes them feel uncomfortable. Yet any good business person knows we are not only paid to work, but also we are paid to be scared. | 121 |
Brendan Myers | My earliest interest in game design came when I was in primary school, and my parents bought a Commodore 128 computer. I taught myself to write programs in BASIC, and then I made my own games. | 121 |
David Brainerd | I have a secret thought from some things I have observed, that God may perhaps design you for some singular service in the world. | 121 |
Daniel Libeskind | And then, build a bustling wonderful city of the 21st century, with a restoration of a spectacular skyline, which Manhattan, of course, needs. So, that is really the design as a whole. | 121 |
David Chipperfield | It is difficult to separate oneself from one's design moralities. | 121 |
Moshe Safdie | Urban design as a discipline barely exists in most American and Canadian cities. In Singapore, there are innovative transportation strategies at work. | 121 |
John Hoeven | The Keystone XL project has built strong safety measures into its design with the newest technology. Additionally, 80 percent of the new Canadian oil sands are being developed 'in situ,' meaning, it has a similar carbon footprint and emissions as conventional oil wells. | 121 |
Tim Berners-Lee | Web users ultimately want to get at data quickly and easily. They don't care as much about attractive sites and pretty design. | 122 |
Venus Williams | My style is kind of eclectic and I don't like to do the same thing over and over again. I like to have fun and explore myself so you won't see the same design. | 122 |
Carl Honore | Aficionados of Slow design and Slow fashion use ethical and green materials to make objects - furniture, clothes, jewellery - that lift the spirit and last a lifetime rather than one catwalk season. | 122 |
Christian Lacroix | French design hardly exists, except as artificial modernism. | 122 |
Henry Petroski | Design is nothing if not decision making. | 122 |
Mary Quant | For one thing, I am still working as an adviser on fashion, design and colour and stuff. | 122 |
Malcolm Mclaren | Punk's influence on music, movies, art, design and fashion is no longer in doubt. It is used as the measurement for what is cool. | 122 |
Marc Newson | So if I design it and then go away, it's still living somewhere and it still exists by itself without me. | 122 |
John Varvatos | My vision is the ability to design clothes for a man who wants to create his own style and doesn't want to dress like he's in uniform, to look like the guy in the ad, or to feel like he has to put it together that way. | 122 |
Kanye West | I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton, but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said, 'You're finished. The shoe's finished.' | 123 |
Homaro Cantu | I was just taught very early that if I didn't solve problems, I was headed for a very dark path. Problems were everywhere. Now, even if there are no problems, I look for problems. I'm like, 'You know what? I don't like the way this spoon works. I want to design a new spoon.' | 123 |
Virginia Postrel | Although people often equate them, glamour is not the same as beauty, stylishness, luxury, celebrity, or sex appeal. It is not limited to fashion or film; nor is it intrinsically feminine. It is not a collection of aesthetic markers - a style, as fashion and design use the word. | 123 |
Claudia Schiffer | I design for myself and the first question I ask is, 'Would I wear it?' | 123 |
Colleen Atwood | The reward is that you can actually create a world separate from reality with a story, actors, music, and camera design. When it works it can entertain, move people and teach us all. | 123 |
Maria Sharapova | I have always had an interest in fashion and design and I appreciate style and timelessness within my footwear and accessories both on and off the court. | 123 |
Peter Zumthor | When I concentrate on a specific site or place for which I am going to design a building, I try to plumb its depths, its form, its history and its sensuous qualities. | 123 |
Mike Mills | It's funny now how much we look at - whatever you want to call it: art, design, culture stuff, film - online, and how in the online world, you're instantly global. | 123 |
Michael Arad | I really appreciate artists of the 20th century, and I can see a lot of their influence on my work, but to suggest that my design only fits within an 'ism' kind of bothers me. | 123 |
Craig Venter | Sometime in the future, I am a hundred percent certain scientists will sit down at a computer terminal, design what they want the organism to do, and build it. | 124 |
Donatella Versace | A business woman needs a successful mix of design and practicality. | 124 |
Donna Karan | I design from instinct. It's the only way I know how to live. What feels good. What feels right. What is needed. Give me a problem and I will approach it creatively, from my gut. | 124 |
Nicole Richie | When we were in the design studio I always was pretending like I was in a closet asking my friend before I step out into the world what do I look like? And everybody wants that honest friend before they go and go to dinner or go to an event. | 124 |
Paul Rand | Graphic Design, which fulfills aesthetic needs, complies with the laws of form and exigencies of two-dimensional space; which speaks in semiotics, sans-serifs, and geometrics; which abstracts, transforms, translates, rotates, dilates, repeats, mirrors, groups, and regroups, is not good design if it is irrelevant. | 124 |
Steve Wozniak | In the end, I hope there's a little note somewhere that says I designed a good computer. | 124 |
Christian Lacroix | For me, I am still very happy to be able to do stage design as it's an opportunity to express the extreme. | 124 |
Henry Petroski | I employ case studies of failure into my courses, emphasizing that they teach us much more than studies of success. It is not that success stories cannot serve as models of good design or as exemplars of creative engineering. They can do that, but they cannot teach us how close to failure they are. | 124 |
Dries van Noten | I don't design for myself. I design something keeping in mind that it has to please a lot of women. | 124 |
Marc Newson | So if I want to buy a light in a shop and I don't find a light that I like, I think to myself what would I like? What would I like to buy? Then I started to imagine and design it for myself a lot of the time. | 124 |
Mikko Hypponen | You can get the best locksmith in the world to design the best lock he can design, is it pick proof? No, it's not: it can be very hard to pick, but it is pickable. Because you can get, say, the next 10 best locksmiths, and give them unlimited money and time, they will figure out a way to pick it. | 124 |
Steve Jobs | A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have. | 125 |
Ice Cube | Music is where I have the most creative freedom, but I love producing. To me, that's kind of where all the action is. You get a chance to have your hands in every aspect of a film. From picking a director, sometimes picking a writer, to the actors, the wardrobe, set design, editing, music, and marketing. | 125 |
Alan Shepard | We worked with the engineers in the design and construction and testing phases in those various areas, then we would get back together at the end of the week and brief each other as to what had gone on. | 125 |
Brad Goreski | Trends in fashion, design and pop culture are taking on more global influence, and of course, one thing that's always in style is color. | 125 |
Christopher Alexander | Once you understand this way, you will be able to make your room alive; you will be able to design a house together with your family; a garden for your children; places where you can work; beautiful terraces where you can sit and dream. | 125 |
Norman Foster | When the Great Fire of London destroyed most of the medieval city in 1666, Christopher Wren was invited to design a new one. Within days, he had drawn up an elegant grid of broad boulevards leading to majestic squares, but it came to nothing - the existing landowners wanted things as they had been. | 125 |
Paloma Faith | I design all my sets. With my tour and my album artwork, I co-design that with people who are better at drawing than me. But I've got a good imagination. I went to art school so I understand how to communicate my ideas. | 125 |
Tommy Hilfiger | I think it is really important to have a sense of business. As a designer you can get so wrapped up in the design and fashion side that you forget the business side. | 125 |
Antony Gormley | Due to the failure of politics, which has become a process of middle-management, art has become one of the last open spaces to question core beliefs and to design a viable future. Art becomes an open space where we can ask fundamental questions about ourselves. | 125 |
Shawn Amos | If I were a rock star, I'd design my own clothes. I'd do it because that's the mark of a true rock star. | 125 |
Andrew Luck | After doing some research with my agent, we found out Klipsch was an official Colts partner, and they were based in Indianapolis, which only added to my esteem for the company. I also have a passion for design and technology that developed while I was at Stanford and appreciate the quality of Klipsch's speakers and headphones. | 125 |
Vera Wang | I love to design things that people can actually buy. I'm staggered by what a boot costs today. | 126 |
Ben Horowitz | By far the most difficult skill I learned as a C.E.O. was the ability to manage my own psychology. Organizational design, process design, metrics, hiring and firing were all relatively straightforward skills to master compared with keeping my mind in check. | 126 |
Henri Matisse | It is only after years of preparation that the young artist should touch color - not color used descriptively, that is, but as a means of personal expression. | 126 |
Tadao Ando | The level of detail and craft is something that's inscribed within the original design concept. And so when I begin to draw, I know what kind of detailing I want the building to have. | 126 |
Alek Wek | I've always loved to paint - I was studying to do an art degree when I was approached to become a model - and I've being doing some design work as well. I also love just having a quiet time, sitting in my little library at home in Brooklyn and reading or watching documentaries or listening to music. | 126 |
Arthur Erickson | After 1980, you never heard reference to space again. Surface, the most convincing evidence of the descent into materialism, became the focus of design. Space disappeared. | 126 |
Margaret Heffernan | British innovation in design, in the creative arts, in engineering and manufacturing is world class. | 126 |
Alex Steffen | By fundamentally changing how we design the places and systems that enable our daily lives, we can slash emissions way beyond the immediate carbon savings - because our own personal emissions are just the tip of a vast iceberg of energy and resources consumed far from our view. | 126 |
Burt Rutan | Airplanes were invented by natural selection. Now you can say that intelligent design designs our airplanes of today, but there was no intelligent design really designing those early airplanes. There were probably at least 30,000 different things tried, and when they crash and kill the pilot, don't try that again. | 126 |
Martin Filler | From the outset, MoMA followed the Bauhaus's strict prohibition against design that even hinted at the decorative, a prejudice that skewed the pioneering museum's view of Modernism for decades. | 126 |
Clive Barker | I'm not the expert on the great gameplay. I come in for the character design, monsters, atmosphere. I'm not the technician. | 126 |
James Dyson | Design and technology should be the subject where mathematical brainboxes and science whizzkids turn their bright ideas into useful products. | 201 |
Jim Henson | We thought it would be fun to try to design a show that would work well internationally and so that' s what we're intending to do with Fraggle Rock, and we are indeed now selling it around the world. | 201 |
Patrick deWitt | When you're 8 years old, and you've become subconsciously familiar with the layout and design of Black Sparrow books, and you know the difference between Miles Davis and John Coltrane, something is bound to stick. | 201 |
Venus Williams | All those lessons that I've learned on the court, I have applied them to my life outside of the court in business, my company, called V Starr interiors, an interior design company, and EleVen, which I wear on court. | 201 |
Zaha Hadid | If I wanted to do clothes or if I wanted to make a building or design a choreography, you are able to do that - they are all under a similar kind of design umbrella. | 201 |
Alber Elbaz | Many, many times I find that whatever is looking good on the screen doesn't always look or feel good on the body. So who do we design for - do we design for the screen, or do we design for women? | 201 |
Jaron Lanier | The basic problem is that web 2.0 tools are not supportive of democracy by design. They are tools designed to gather spy-agency-like data in a seductive way, first and foremost, but as a side effect they tend to provide software support for mob-like phenomena. | 201 |
Elon Musk | The path to the CEO's office should not be through the CFO's office, and it should not be through the marketing department. It needs to be through engineering and design. | 202 |
Frank Lloyd Wright | Space is the breath of art. | 202 |
Christian Louboutin | A shoe is not only a design, but it's a part of your body language, the way you walk. The way you're going to move is quite dictated by your shoes. | 202 |
Donna Karan | To me, design and style should work toward making you look good and feel good without a lot of effort - so you can get on with the things that matter. | 202 |
Eric Burdon | I was in college, and very disappointed. I majored in commercial art and interior design for three or four years. At that time, it seemed the thing I really wanted to do, production design, just wasn't available in the U.K., so I turned to music. | 202 |
Fergie | Luckily I don't have to buy shoes anymore, because I design them! I'm off tour, so I can dive in and create the shoes that I want for my line. But okay, I did buy a pair of vintage combat boots because they were so beaten up - I had to have them. | 202 |
Jonathan Ive | A small change at the beginning of the design process defines an entirely different product at the end. | 202 |
Tadao Ando | Italy is full of historical buildings. And Europe holds a great history of philosophy from Greece until today. I read all those books and see these buildings, and I think of where I stand when I design my architecture. | 202 |
Maria Sharapova | I help design my own tennis clothes. | 202 |
Mary Astell | God is His own Design and End, and that there is no other Worthy of Him. | 202 |
Joe Bastianich | I think a lot of people overlook the importance of the menu as a marketing tool and a way of communicating to the customer what the ambition of their restaurant is. Not only the typeface and the design, but what is it printed on? Is it cheap-looking? Is it the right kind of paper for that restaurant? | 202 |
Elon Musk | There are really two things that have to occur in order for a new technology to be affordable to the mass market. One is you need economies of scale. The other is you need to iterate on the design. You need to go through a few versions. | 203 |
Erma Bombeck | Sometimes I can't figure designers out. It's as if they flunked human anatomy. | 203 |
Christian Louboutin | I'm a designer, and I think if you work in fashion, you have to give people fantasy. | 203 |
Jonathan Ive | To design something really new and innovative you have to reject reason. | 203 |
Peter York | All brands, whether high-ticket luxury ones such as Cartier or Rolls-Royce or 'masstige' ones with luxe-y overtones but altogether more affordable, all want to grow. Even brands that may have started in a modestly niche design and lifestyle fashion can find themselves under pressure to go global or to sell out at the top. | 203 |
Twiggy | Even before I was discovered in 1966, I used to make my own clothes. I learned how to sew early on, and it's still my passion now. I constantly have ideas in my head about clothes so jumped at the chance to do my own collection and am very hands-on. Everything I design, I wear and I love. | 203 |
Zaha Hadid | As a woman, I'm expected to want everything to be nice and to be nice myself. A very English thing. I don't design nice buildings - I don't like them. I like architecture to have some raw, vital, earthy quality. | 203 |
Bethany Mota | I am excited to partner with Aeropostale for my very own collection. It was a great experience to be able to work with them. Not only did I get to design an entire fashion line, but I got to do it at a great price point with quality clothes, both of which are very important to me. | 203 |
Edie Campbell | You'll never see me with a precision flick of eyeliner. Messy eyeliner became my thing by accident rather than design. If you can't get it straight, then just work it in around your eyes. | 203 |
Henry Petroski | Case studies of failure should be made a part of the vocabulary of every engineer so that he or she can recall or recite them when something in a new design or design process is suggestive of what went wrong in the case study. | 203 |
Jason Silva | I design therefore I become. | 203 |
Indra Nooyi | Most companies target women as end users, but few are effectively utilizing female employees when it comes to innovating for female consumers. When women are empowered in the design and innovation process, the likelihood of success in the marketplace improves by 144%! | 204 |
Alexander McQueen | Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual. When you see a woman in my clothes, you want to know more about them. To me, that is what distinguishes good designers from bad designers. | 204 |
Annie Leibovitz | I don't think there is anything wrong with white space. I don't think it's a problem to have a blank wall. | 204 |
Calvin Klein | People who run a ready-to-wear company are businessmen rather than production or design people. | 204 |
Carlos Ghosn | When I come to a design decision, people know that is that. | 204 |
Emma Stone | My stylist has really great taste - Petra Flannery has really great taste. I mean, I am opinionated, and as time goes on, as I've gotten to see more dresses or more clothes, it's easier to say, 'I like that' or 'I don't like that,' but it's nothing I would ever, you know, design. | 204 |
Satya Nadella | We had the Windows app store in Windows 8, but one of the big changes in the design of Windows 10 is to make sure that the app store is front and center where our usage is, which is the desktop. | 204 |
Bethany Mota | I've always wanted to design a home collection line because growing up, I was obsessed with reorganizing my room. | 204 |
Coco Chanel | Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions. | 205 |
Barbra Streisand | Eighteenth century American furniture and the design of the architects Greene and Greene are my special love. | 205 |
Glenn Greenwald | There's a perennial debate about whether the propagandistic tripe produced by establishment media outlets is shaped more by evil or by stupidity. Personally, I think it's both: a healthy dose of each is needed. The system design is malicious, while those who serve as its public face are generally vacant. | 205 |
Jonathan Ive | Apple's Industrial Design team is harder to get into than the Illuminati, and part of the reason is because no one leaves. In the last 15 years, not one of the 18 designers has ditched Apple for greener pastures. | 205 |
Rudy Giuliani | There is no city in America that has reduced crime as much as we have in the last three years. This is not the product of accident. This is the product of design. | 205 |
Stephen Gardiner | French architecture always manages to combine the most magnificent underlying themes of architecture; like Roman design, it looks to the community. | 205 |
Chris Squire | I've been called the journeyman. It's really more by default than it is by design. | 205 |
Marc Jacobs | I'm not really well educated - other than an art survey course at the High School of Art and Design in New York when I was, like, 15. I don't know the history of art, but I got over intimidation from the art world when I realized that I was allowed to feel whatever I want and like whatever I want. | 205 |
Candice Olson | I credit my mom with inspiring in me a love of design, matched by her creative problem-solving abilities. This is a woman who could find an old, discarded piece of furniture, bring it home and turn it into something fabulous. | 205 |
Steve Jobs | Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. The iMac is not just the color or translucence or the shape of the shell. The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer in which each element plays together. | 206 |
Diana Ross | I majored in fashion design in school, and I have always wanted to design my own line of clothing, jewelry, and stuff like that; so this was just a step for me in that direction. | 206 |
Nate Berkus | When you buy things that are expensive, like a sofa or something that really feels like an investment, you need to keep it as plain as possible, as simple as possible. Make sure that it's a clean design that will work with whatever style you want it to. | 206 |
Henry Petroski | We call the fates of the Titanic and the Concordia - as well as those of the space shuttles Challenger and Columbia - 'accidents.' Foreseeing such undesirable events is what engineers are expected to do. However, design trade-offs leave technological systems open to failings once predicted, but later forgotten. | 206 |
Jane McGonigal | I'm always thinking about whatever game I'm working on. My brain works subconsciously on design pretty much every hour I'm awake. | 206 |
Larry Wall | When I announced the development of Perl 6, I said it was going to be a community design. I designed Perl, myself. It's limited by my own brain power. So I wanted Perl 6 to be a community design. | 206 |
Vera Wang | Design is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one's head as a designer. So my being able to reach the masses was something that meant a great deal to me - especially for women who could never wear Vera Wang. | 207 |
Diane von Furstenberg | My favorite days are the ones where I deal only with my own team, design, marketing, working on the next accessories collection. | 207 |
Seth Shostak | Most of the things at the zoo don't look like us. We're one design that works. Our chimp pals sort of look like us, so that's a different take on the same basic design. But fish don't look like us, and giraffes don't. They look a little like us, but not too much. And insects certainly don't look like us, and they work just fine. | 207 |
Steve Wozniak | If I designed a computer with 200 chips, I tried to design it with 150. And then I would try to design it with 100. I just tried to find every trick I could in life to design things real tiny. | 207 |
Twiggy | Wearing a bold print gets harder as you get older. It's safer to stick to subtle prints or block colours. I have always found prints quite tricky. My daughter Carly, who is on the design team at Stella McCartney, is obsessed with them. | 207 |
Johnny Weir | I design all of my costumes. I like to go out there and feel like I have contributed to every part of what I do. I choose the music, the choreographer, I've obviously chosen my coach, my costumes - all if that falls under my realm of power, my realm of influence. | 207 |
Brad Pitt | I'd like to design something like a city or a museum. I want to do something hands on rather than just play golf which is the sport of the religious right. | 208 |
Charles Stanley | In giving us children, God places us in a position of both leadership and service. He calls us to give up our lives for someone else's sake - to abandon our own desires and put our child's interests first. Yet, according to His perfect design, it is through this selflessness that we can become truly fulfilled. | 208 |
Miguel de Cervantes | Delay always breeds danger; and to protract a great design is often to ruin it. | 208 |
Neill Blomkamp | I grew up as an artist. Science fiction allows for design and creatures and guns and all the stuff that I like as well. So I think most of the films I make, I'm sure, will be in that category. But I can also see myself making a film like 'Black Hawk Down,' and I could also totally do horror. | 208 |
Tom Peters | Design is so critical it should be on the agenda of every meeting in every single department. | 208 |
Tony Fadell | If you don't have an emotionally engaging design for a device, no one will care about it. | 208 |
Dylan Lauren | Watching my dad, Ralph Lauren, design clothes when I was young, I was always inspired. | 208 |
Florence Welch | I've always been a bit of a decorator. I think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably be in stage setting or interior design or something. I like clutter and I'm quite visually greedy. I can't have things to be plain; I have to have things looking interesting... maybe I'm just a frustrated interior designer stuck in a singing career. | 209 |
James Dyson | Britain's great strength is its innovative, design and engineering natural ability and we're not using it. | 209 |
Lawrence M. Krauss | By no definition of any modern scientist is intelligent design science, and it's a waste of our students' time to subject them to it. | 209 |
Nate Berkus | When I take on a design project, I have to jet from the bookstore to the hardware shop to the lamp store and back again just to collect a small portion of the many items I need to fill a home. But, when you hit the flea market, they're all right there. From booth to booth, you have the bases covered. | 209 |
Henry Petroski | No design, no matter how common or seemingly insignificant, is without its adamant critics as well as its ardent admirers. | 209 |
Josh McDowell | I've never had anyone define purity. You probably can't define purity. Purity is to live according to original design. | 209 |
Marcus Aurelius | Let it be your constant method to look into the design of people's actions, and see what they would be at, as often as it is practicable; and to make this custom the more significant, practice it first upon yourself. | 210 |
Craig Venter | When you think of all the things that are made from oil or in the chemical industry, if in the future we could find cells to replace most of those processes, the ideal way would be to do it by direct design. | 210 |
Pierce Brosnan | I'm an artist, so I love the graphic design of Instagram. | 210 |
Philip Treacy | What I love most about Her Majesty is that she has kept hats alive in people's minds for more than 60 years. You can't think of her without imagining her with a hat or a crown. I would, of course, love to design one for her. | 210 |
Joshua Foer | No one who set out to design a form of communication would ever end up with anything like English, Mandarin, or any of the more than six thousand languages spoken today. | 210 |
Ellen DeGeneres | Designing is my hobby. If I didn't do what I do for a living - at some point when I don't do this for a living - I'll probably just do design work. I love finding really special pieces of furniture. | 211 |
Vera Wang | Design is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one's head as a designer. | 211 |
D. H. Lawrence | Design in art, is a recognition of the relation between various things, various elements in the creative flux. You can't invent a design. You recognize it, in the fourth dimension. That is, with your blood and your bones, as well as with your eyes. | 211 |
John Adams | I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder, as the opening of a grand scene and design in providence, for the illumination of the ignorant and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth. | 211 |
James Dyson | I'm not into politics but I am committed to a cause: ensuring design technology and engineering stays on the U.K. curriculum, alongside science and maths - grounding abstract theory, merging the practical with the academic. | 211 |
Jonathan Ive | The emphasis and value on ideas and original thinking is an innate part of British culture, and in many ways, that describes the traditions of design. | 211 |
Tom Ford | There are many designers who have much greater talent as a designer than I do, but they may not have my drive, they may not work as hard, they may not have the focus, the desire... You have to have a talent because, at the end of the day, if the pants you design don't make someone's butt look great, they're not going to buy them. | 211 |
Arthur Erickson | No wonder the film industry started in the desert in California where, like all desert dwellers, they dream their buildings, rather than design them. | 211 |
Colleen Atwood | I don't design my own clothes. It's so not what I think about. | 211 |
Jeffrey Kluger | A jellyfish is little more than a pulsating bell, a tassel of trailing tentacles and a single digestive opening through which it both eats and excretes - as regrettable an example of economy of design as ever was. | 211 |
Marc Jacobs | Design is a series of creative choices - it's a collaborative effort, an evolutionary process. You choose your fabrics depending upon what you want to say, then you work with mills to get those fabrics. Through the process, you realize what you want it to be. | 211 |
Alex Steffen | I'm fascinated with design. I realized early that I had no talent in that direction, but I love talking with architects and designers about what they do. I appreciate applied creativity as a source of pleasure and meaning. | 211 |
Alexander McQueen | I come from a different era and I design clothes for our era. I think of people I want to dress when I design. | 212 |
Zaha Hadid | People say I design architectural icons. If I design a building and it becomes an icon, that's ok. | 212 |
Raf Simons | Until I was eighteen, I did not know that you could study fashion design or art. I really didn't know. I already had my nose in the art world; I was already looking at things, but I didn't really get it that you could study that because my school was a very different environment. | 212 |
Alexander McQueen | Now I design what I want to wear, and it works that way. | 213 |
Bill Dedman | Federal regulations forbid delaying inspections for fracture-critical bridges like the fallen Minneapolis bridge - the kind with a lack of redundancy in design, so that a single failure in a load-bearing part can cause the entire bridge to collapse. | 213 |
Miuccia Prada | When I design and wonder what the point is, I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So, in that sense, fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little. | 213 |
Adrian Tomine | There's a lot of books that I've purchased simply because of the cover design. On the other hand, there's certain books that, even if I'm very curious about the content, I can't bring myself to buy if I really dislike the cover. | 213 |
Chad Hurley | From time to time, I've experimented with sculpture or metal design. It's a good break from just sitting behind the keyboard. | 213 |
M. J. Rose | One of the biggest differences between you and a traditionally published author is that a self-pubbed author is responsible for everything. Not just writing the book - but cover design, editing, producing, distribution, and publicity as well. | 213 |
Martin Filler | By 1970, the first stirrings of the revolt against Modernist orthodoxy in architecture had been felt, although it would be several years more until Postmodernism was widely accepted and made classical motifs permissible in high-style building design for the first time in decades. | 213 |
Anna Quindlen | I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves. | 214 |
Nate Berkus | I didn't grow up thinking I'd be a decorator. Design is my greatest passion, and it naturally just pulled me down the path. Same with TV. Being famous or having a show was never the motivation. I got a call and was swept up by the challenge of that first small space redesign. | 214 |
Trent Reznor | Books are better than movies because you design the set the way you want it to look. | 214 |
Juan Williams | NPR editors and journalists found themselves caught in a game of trying to please a leadership team who did not want to hear stories on the air about conservatives, the poor, or anyone who didn't fit their profitable design of NPR as the official voice of college-educated, white, liberal-leaning, upper-income America. | 214 |
Philip Treacy | I always design the hat with the wearer in mind; otherwise, it's an inanimate object. | 214 |
Raf Simons | In fashion design, you can divide people into two groups. You have people who come with an aesthetic that is there forever, even if it evolves. Then you have people I call 'jumpers.' One season it can be this; the next season it's completely something else. I always knew I am more of a jumper. | 214 |
Steve Aoki | There's a big gaping hole in the EDM space for songwriting. It's one thing to learn how to be a great sound designer and become big just on sound design. Especially if you're in the dubstep category, it's like, how much fatter and more interesting can you make those drops. | 214 |
James Wolcott | Book-jacket design may become a lost art, like album-cover design, without which late-20th-century iconography would have been pauperized. | 214 |
Vera Wang | I like the gritty parts of fashion, the design, the studio, the pictures. | 215 |
Diane von Furstenberg | I design for the woman who loves being a woman. | 215 |
Frank Gehry | There are people who design buildings that are not technically and financially good, and there are those who do. Two categories - simple. | 215 |
Lauren Conrad | I'd love to design bridal dresses. | 215 |
Nancy Gibbs | In design as in life, smart can also mean wise, kind, inspiring - and cost-effective. And that has a charm all its own. | 215 |
James Cameron | I actually started as a model builder and quickly progressed into production design, which made sense because I could draw and paint. But I kept watching that guy over there who was moving the actors around and setting up the shots. | 215 |
Blake Lively | Design, whether it's on your body or in your home, is the same thing. It's mixing different colors, different textures, and unexpected patterns - elements that you wouldn't often put together in an interesting way. | 216 |
Brad Pitt | I'm drawn to furniture design as complete architecture on a minor scale. | 216 |
George Lucas | The way I define 'intelligent design' is that when people started out, we wanted to make sense of the world we lived in, so we created stories about how things worked. | 216 |
Philip Johnson | I wish someone would ask me to design a cathedral. | 216 |
Vint Cerf | The big deal about the Internet design was you could have an arbitrary large number of networks so that they would all work together. | 216 |
Alice Waters | If I weren't involved with food, I'd be working in architecture. Design is that critical to me. | 216 |
Frank Lloyd Wright | The space within becomes the reality of the building. | 217 |
Andy Serkis | Gorillas are still wild creatures. That's made very clear when you observe them in nature. They charge and perform other displays that are terrifying by design. But they don't attack unless they feel threatened. | 217 |
Barbara Kruger | Even when I was a little girl, I remember going to the Museum of Modern Art. I think my parents took me there once or twice. And what I really remember is the design collection. | 217 |
Jack Nicklaus | If I had one golf course, from a design standpoint, one that I really love, it would probably be Pinehurst. There's a totally tree-lined golf course where trees are not a part of the strategy. | 217 |
Richard Rogers | I love cities, I spend most of my life talking about cities. And the design of cities does have an effect on your life. You're lucky if you can see trees out of your window and you have a square nearby, or a bar, a cornershop, a surgery. Then you're living well. | 217 |
Colleen Atwood | I think that sometimes people don't understand that a costume that has to be worn every day and doesn't change the whole movie becomes iconic. It's very important because it requires a different design process, since you have to make something that people aren't going to get tired of looking at. | 218 |
Amy Lee | I design a lot of things that I wear onstage, but I'm always looking for unique stuff. I like creative things, so anything I can find at a secondhand costume shop to a Helmut Lang store, it doesn't matter - just unique stuff. | 218 |
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu | I have a notebook, and I know what decisions will be made in pre-production. Everything is pre-determined in the pre-production period. I visually design the whole thing, and I know when things will happen. | 219 |
Jonathan Ive | Perhaps I'd like to design cars, but I don't think I'd be much good at it. | 219 |
Steve Wozniak | It would be nice to design a real briefcase - you open it up and it's your computer but it also stores your books. | 219 |
Trent Reznor | I have been wildly enthused about gaming since I was younger, and a career path I chose not to go down but did really consider was getting into programming and game design. | 219 |
Zaha Hadid | I am equally proud of all of my architectural projects. It's always rewarding to see an ambitious design become reality. | 219 |
Colleen Atwood | I grew up in a small town in Washington State, so I wasn't really aware of costume design as a career growing up, but I loved clothes. I remember I saved all my money, and the first thing that I bought was a white blazer, which was to the horror to my parents. But I have always had a strange connection with clothing. | 219 |
Richard Lamm | God is not an American. Nature did not design Americans to be prosperous forever. | 219 |
Martin Filler | Any set of decisions about design is inevitably influenced by cultural prejudice, no matter how intent an architect might be to avoid it. | 219 |
Alexander McQueen | I can design a collection in a day and I always do, cause I've always got a load of Italians on my back, moaning that it's late. | 220 |
Liz Phair | I mean, I think about it, but I don't design my record to get a certain public response. | 220 |
Pharrell Williams | I have an all-Japanese design team, and none of them speak English. So it's often funny and surprising how my ideas end up lost in translation. | 220 |
Rick Warren | You drift through life and let things happen to you, or go by design and say, 'This is what I'm intended to do.' | 220 |
Bobby Flay | I think a lot of times people design restaurants with flash in mind. I think you should design restaurants with function in mind. Make sure it's functional and works with what you're trying to accomplish. Design can come later. | 221 |
Carolina Herrera | You have to have talent to design and to dress thousands of women or millions of women around the world. And you know very well, the only thing they want is to look more beautiful. | 221 |
Tom Ford | Advertising is, of course, important because advertise is the final design. It's the last layer that speaks to the customer, that tells them what you have. | 221 |
Tyra Banks | Designers are very fickle. I never wanted to be a victim of that. You're in one minute, out the next. | 221 |
Zaha Hadid | I've always thought that design can have equal importance to the idea of internal architecture. Professionally, things can be very dogmatic - you do the architecture, someone else does the interiors, someone else does the furniture, the fabric, etc. But I think design is all-encompassing. | 221 |
Tiesto | Growing up, Guess always had these amazing billboards and cool affordable clothing. I wore it then, and I still wear it now! It's come full-circle. When I design the clothes, I have a very good team around me, showing me different pieces and cuts. | 221 |
Jack Nicklaus | Pete Dye introduced me to golf course design back in the 1960's. He came to my hometown Columbus, Ohio to work on The Golf Club. | 222 |
Donatella Versace | When I meet celebrities, I have to know what they are like and only then can I design. The clothes have to fit their personality. | 223 |
Francis Collins | Proponents of intelligent design don't accept that some of the very complex nanomachines that we have inside ourselves could have come about solely on the basis of natural selection. | 223 |
Colleen Atwood | I can create clothes for so many different time periods. I've always tried to avoid being pigeonholed. Plus, everything I learn about design and costume from one movie somehow works its way into something else. | 223 |
William Butler Yeats | Designs in connection with postage stamps and coinage may be described, I think, as the silent ambassadors on national taste. | 224 |
Jonathan Ive | I like to work in a small team. There is only 18 of us on the design team. Nobody has ever left. | 224 |
Dan Jenkins | If you see a player out in public having dinner, chances are he's with his boring money manager or some boring rich guy he hopes to design a golf course for. | 224 |
Jack Nicklaus | I've wanted to design golf courses ever since I was a kid. I suppose it comes from the way I've played the game. To find the proper way to play any hole, I've always begun by asking myself what the architect has tried to do with it. | 225 |
Richard Rogers | Architects design buildings; that's what we do, so we have to go with the flow; and, even though I'm still an old Leftie, global capitalism does have its good side. It's broken down barriers - the Berlin Wall, the Soviet Union - it's raised a lot of people up economically, and for architects, it has meant that we can work around the world. | 225 |
Gary Hamel | I don't know whether the universe contains any evidence of intelligent design, but I can assure you that thousands of everyday products do not. | 225 |
Carlos Ghosn | I approve designs not because I think I am more gifted or somebody who can see ahead three or four years from now, but just to make sure that the design is a logical, rational decision, taken after analyzing pros and cons. | 226 |
Diane von Furstenberg | I never like to think that I design for a particular person. I design for the woman I wanted to be, the woman I used to be, and - to some degree - the woman I'm still a little piece of. | 226 |
Richard Rogers | A greater focus on design in all new homes would make the best use of land, create homes and public spaces, and reinforce the structures of urban life. | 226 |
Colleen Atwood | My own style is pretty classic; I much prefer to design for others. | 226 |
Martin Parr | I would urge everyone to start looking at the world in a different way. Spend some time looking at everyday objects, at their design, their shape, their individual characteristics. Think ahead and imagine their significance. | 226 |
John Travolta | When I was a very little boy, I lived underneath the air pattern of LaGuardia airport in New York and I watched the planes fly to their destinations. I was in love with the design of these airplanes. | 226 |
Big Sean | There's a lot of shoes that people consider high-end fashion, from Balenciaga to this and that or whatever, and the Pro Models are very similar to me. They're very fashionable to me - the design and the shape of them. I just like them. | 301 |
William Gibson | I like the idea of people who've had some success in one form secretly wanting to be something else; I have some of that myself. I look for it in other people who've established themselves in some particular art form, and then you find out that they really would like to design running shoes, or edit literary magazines or something. | 301 |
Chris Squire | The fact I've been in every lineup of Yes has been more by default than design. | 301 |
Jack Nicklaus | A Nicklaus Design golf course is done by the guys in my company that I work with, that have been trained in my vision, and they do what they think I might do. They might come in the office and ask me questions and I'd certainly answer their questions, but I'm not involved in the site visits or anything else. | 302 |
Colleen Atwood | I design for the movie and the character as well as the person wearing the costume. I show the ideas to the actor, then do fittings for shape and technical things such as movement in the costume. Once the costume in this form is on the actor, you have a sense of their connection with it. I then take it to the next level with the final fit. | 302 |
John Malkovich | Well, I design costumes because I started with the theater in Chicago, but somehow a few lines just sort of fell to me to do it. And I studied it in school and I always liked it. | 302 |
Philip Treacy | I'm representative of 21st century Irish design, so I promote Irishness all over the world wherever I go. | 302 |
Diane von Furstenberg | The way I design generally is very much travel-oriented because that is my life. That's why I make clothes that are so light and so easy to pack and a little bit seasonless. | 303 |
Colleen Atwood | I really don't over-theorize about design. I'd rather feel it than talk it to death. A lot happens as you unroll the design. | 303 |
Camille Paglia | Over the past 20 years, I have noticed that the most flexible, dynamic, inquisitive minds among my students have been industrial design majors. Industrial designers are bracingly free of ideology and cant. The industrial designer is trained to be a clear-eyed observer of the commercial world - which, like it or not, is modern reality. | 304 |
James Dyson | When you say 'design,' everybody thinks of magazine pages. So it's an emotive word. Everybody thinks it's how something looks, whereas for me, design is pretty much everything. | 304 |
Jonathan Ive | All I've ever wanted to do is design and make; it's what I love doing. | 304 |
Alison Gopnik | If you wanted to design a robot that could learn as well as it possibly could, you might end up with something that looked a lot like a 3-year-old. | 304 |
Camille Paglia | Video games and YouTube.com are creatively booming, even though Web design, as demonstrated by the ugly clutter of most major news sites, is in the pits. | 305 |
James Dyson | I don't particularly follow the Bauhaus school of design, where you make everything into a black box - simplify it. | 305 |
L'Wren Scott | After working with clothes for so long, it seemed right to design them. | 306 |
Virginia Postrel | The profusion of fonts is one more product of the digital revolution. Beginning in the mid-'80s and accelerating in the 1990s, type design weathered the sort of radical, technology-driven transformation that other creative industries, including music, publishing, and movies, now face. | 308 |
Richard Dawkins | The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference. | 309 |
William Butler Yeats | Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought - asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride, or design in their conversation. | 309 |
Bob Dylan | I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people, real street scenes, behind the curtain scenes, live models, paintings, photographs, staged setups, architecture, grids, graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work. | 310 |
Frans de Waal | Deep down, creationists realize they will never win factual arguments with science. This is why they have construed their own science-like universe, known as Intelligent Design, and eagerly jump on every tidbit of information that seems to go their way. | 310 |
Khloe Kardashian | To be able to design for the plus-sized consumer, for me, that's just beyond. It's a dream. | 310 |
Nina Garcia | There really are so many lines of work that you can join that don't have to only be design. And that was one that particularly interested me a lot, because the editors could appreciate all the trends, all the designs and all the work of the designers. | 310 |
Ryan Holmes | At the most basic level, prioritizing design also represents a practical consideration. It's far easier to design first and engineer later. | 310 |
Vera Wang | All those years of skating and dancing have carried over. I can't design anything without thinking of how a woman's body will look and move when she's wearing it. | 311 |
Craig Venter | Genetic design is something we can use to fight the lack of sustainability we humans are forcing on the earth's environment. | 311 |
Jonathan Ive | When something's made in the smallest volume - as a one-off couture piece - or in large quantities, deep care is critical to determine authentic, successful design and, ultimately, manufacture. | 311 |
H. P. Lovecraft | Write out the story - rapidly, fluently, and not too critically - following the second or narrative-order synopsis. Change incidents and plot whenever the developing process seems to suggest such change, never being bound by any previous design. | 312 |
Evgeny Morozov | For much of its existence, design was all about convenience. We wanted to hide technology so that users are not distracted into thinking about the tools they use. | 312 |
Stella McCartney | My job at the end of the day is to design timeless, desirable, beautiful products. It's not about just designing a bunch of organic jumpers. I have a balance within the brand. If you try to create something people enjoy, and it happens to be made in a responsible way, then that's when you can really strike an incredible balance. | 312 |
James Comey | The promise I've tried to honor my entire career, that the rule of law and the design of the founders, right, the oversight of courts and the oversight of Congress will be at the heart of what the FBI does. | 312 |
Joel Salatin | What we're looking at is God's design, nature's template, and using that as a pattern to cut around and lay it down on a domestic model to duplicate that pattern that we see in nature. | 314 |
Justin Cartwright | In a way, advertising, for all its shallowness, its love of design, its modishness and its self-justification, is curiously innocent. The idea of the hidden persuader or the manipulator is largely absurd. | 315 |
Christian Louboutin | At age 12 or 13, I wanted to design for showgirls - for the theater! | 316 |
Stella McCartney | I think the fact that my parents weren't conventional - especially considering their position - had a big influence on the way that I conduct myself now in design and business. It had a huge impact on my wanting to do something a bit more than just designing a pretty dress and putting it on a runway and making it glamorous. | 316 |
Martin Jacques | In its heyday, the car was an expression of technical flair and design genius: the original Mini, the Beetle, the 2CV, and the Fiat 500 were all, in their various ways, inspired incarnations of functionality. | 316 |
Tony Campolo | While a case can be made for intelligent design, I can't figure out why some Christians are so thrilled about that possibility. First of all, it doesn't prove there's a God. If anything, intelligent design lends support to some form of pantheism that defines God as immanent within nature. | 317 |
Tom Ford | As a designer, design director or any creative person, you have to hire great people, support them and make them feel comfortable so they can contribute and give you their best. | 318 |
Sarah Hall | We all have our preferences - some people go for birds - but for me, there's just something about the wolf; the design of it is really aesthetically pleasing. | 318 |
Elon Musk | Boeing just took $20 billion and 10 years to improve the efficiency of their planes by 10 percent. That's pretty lame. I have a design in mind for a vertical liftoff supersonic jet that would be a really big improvement. | 319 |
Wayne Dyer | Fear is present when we forget that we are a part of God's divine design. Learning to experience authentic love means abandoning ego's insistence that you have much to fear and that you are in an unfriendly world. You can make the decision to be free from fear and doubt and return to the brilliant light of love that is always with you. | 319 |
Howard Rheingold | Schoolchildren are not taught how to distinguish accurate information from inaccurate information online - surely there are ways to design web-browsers to help with this task and ways to teach young people how to use the powerful online tools available to them. | 319 |
Nina Garcia | I was obsessed with fashion when I was young. I thought fashion meant fashion design, and I thought I wanted to be a designer at some point. | 319 |
Ryan Lochte | I want to design my own clothing line. I'm very into fashion. It's something I really want to focus on when swimming is over. | 319 |
Jonathan Ive | We struggle with the right words to describe the design process at Apple. But it is very much about designing and prototyping and making. | 320 |
Timothy Noah | Steve Jobs was the greatest manufacturer of consumer products of his age. His marketing vision put him on par with Henry Ford, and his grasp of the aesthetic component to industrial design far surpassed Ford's. | 321 |
Venus Williams | I love design. | 321 |
Stephen Hawking | As Irving Good realised in 1965, machines with superhuman intelligence could repeatedly improve their design even further, triggering what Vernor Vinge called a 'singularity.' | 322 |
Nikki Sixx | I love the way my tattoos look. I especially love Japanese-style tattoos and being completely sleeved by them, so it's not just these little individual and unrelated pieces, but everything's working together to create a larger design. | 322 |
Jack Nicklaus | I love design in general, the creativity. Whether it is golf courses, my apparel line, ads we do or our business with AriZona, design is fun. | 323 |
Kellan Lutz | What I've learned from different designers is that it's key to be true to who you are and your vision. That's always been my line of thinking. Working through the whole design process, I don't want to create something I wouldn't be proud to wear. | 323 |
William Gibson | I would like to design what people generally call streetwear. I'd like to dress skateboarders, or whatever the older equivalent of skateboarders are. I pay more attention to that stuff than anyone would ever imagine because I'm watching what the designers do. | 323 |
Alber Elbaz | 'Commercial' is not the word that has to be said only by CEOs. It has to be something that is maybe the essence of design, because design has some sort of art in it and creation, but it's also some object that you have to use. There is also this pragmatic end to it. | 324 |
Jonathan Ive | Deep in the culture of Apple is this sense and understanding of design, developing, and making. Form and the material and process - they are beautifully intertwined - completely connected. | 325 |
Martin Rees | And we should keep our minds open, or at least ajar, to concepts on the fringe of science fiction. Flaky American futurologists aren't always wrong. They remind us that a superintelligent machine is the last instrument that humans may ever design - the machine will itself take over in making further steps. | 325 |
Steve Jobs | In most people's vocabularies, design means veneer. It's interior decorating. It's the fabric of the curtains and the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. | 326 |
Michelle Yeoh | Today, tomorrow and every day, we will see at least 2,000 young children killed or seriously injured on the world's roads. This is unacceptable, preventable, and we have to stop it. We have the vaccines for this disease: helmets, seatbelts, speed enforcement, safe road design. We just need to use them. | 326 |
Henry David Thoreau | If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life. | 401 |
Vivienne Westwood | I have too much product, and I'm trying to rein it in and sell more of my main collection. I wish you didn't have to design so often; it would be good if you could keep on selling the same things for a few years and not have to do new things all the time. | 401 |
Blake Lively | My mom modeled and made clothes, so I always had such an appreciation for design. | 401 |
Marc Jacobs | But I'm blessed to work with great people. I collaborate with brilliant stylists both here and in Paris. I work with a great design team. I really allow everyone to bring their ideas. I almost rely on them to inspire me. | 401 |
Douglas Coupland | I was at Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver for four years, and I loved it. | 402 |
Julia Roberts | Every actor wants to win an Oscar, full stop. It doesn't mean you try to design things around how to accomplish that because that's impossible. | 402 |
Vivienne Westwood | I wish you didn't have to design so often. Try to do quality and cut down on quantity. I think fashion is very, very important. | 403 |
Dylan Lauren | I love Janet Jackson and her creative set design. | 403 |
Diane von Furstenberg | A challenging economy is always good for design. It unites necessity and functionality. You are forced to be creative with poor materials. | 405 |
Sean Bean | I love creating things, especially out of metal. There's something truly satisfying about shaping a piece of metal and seeing the impurities peeling away as you weld it into your chosen design. | 406 |
Vivienne Westwood | The thing that makes my clothes really different is that, number one, they are really great designs; they're not tacky; they are very professional; the design is made from lots of decisions. | 407 |
Jonathan Ive | My focus is incredibly narrow. I can't talk with any authority other than design and development of product. | 409 |
Nick Harkaway | We are bodies which think, and we're at home with steampunk because it is an ethos of design and creativity which acknowledges the humanly physical: that which we can understand with our fingers. | 409 |
Robert Frost | The artist in me cries out for design. | 410 |
Jonathan Ive | One of the things that is particularly precious about working at Apple is that many of us on the design team have worked together for 15-plus years, and there's a wonderful thing about learning as a group. A fundamental part of that is making mistakes together. | 410 |
Venus Williams | I've gone to school for business, for design, for architecture. | 410 |
Francois de La Rochefoucauld | Though men are apt to flatter and exalt themselves with their great achievements, yet these are, in truth, very often owing not so much to design as chance. | 411 |
Vivienne Westwood | I design things to help people to hopefully express their personality. | 412 |
Kim Kardashian | I really see myself continuing to design clothes, fragrances. | 413 |
Stella McCartney | My job is to make desirable, luxurious, beautiful clothing and accessories women want to buy. My first decision is always based on, 'Can I do this in a more sustainable way without sacrificing design?' If I can, then there is no reason not to. | 413 |
Tom Ford | The dynamics of film directing and fashion design - in the ways that I've done it - were not dissimilar. | 413 |
Donatella Versace | Women are all the same; we want to be smaller in the waist, longer legs, slimmer. I design for women and their defects, to make them better. | 414 |
Victoria Beckham | Everything that I design I would wear myself. | 414 |
Christian Louboutin | I never wanted to design clothes. I never wanted to work for the fashion industry. Shoes sort of belong to the fashion industry, which is why I'm part of the fashion industry. But that's never been my thought. My thought since I was a child was really to design those shoes for girls on stage. | 415 |
Jonathan Ive | I find that when I write, I need things to be quiet, but when I design, I can't bear it if it's quiet. | 415 |
Marc Jacobs | Marc Jacobs is full of creative people and Louis Vuitton is again a name on the door, a name that has existed for many years but I'm a collaborator there and I bring in other people, other artists and I work with a great creative design team. | 415 |
Brad Pitt | My affliction has been... I can make something or draw something or design something better than I can explain it. | 417 |
Steve Jobs | The design of the Mac wasn't what it looked like, although that was part of it. Primarily, it was how it worked. To design something really well, you have to get it. You have to really grok what it's all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something, chew it up, not just quickly swallow it. | 418 |
Theophilus London | I might want to open a hotel and design all the rooms. Or maybe a museum that lets me curate all the events. | 418 |
Justin Timberlake | Technology's related to everything. Technology is making the world more accessible, so yeah, as generations go by, they'll become more and more married to each other, for sure. I think they go hand in hand - fashion inspires design, and technology inspires design as well. | 419 |
Jonathan Ive | That's just tragic, that you can spend four years of your life studying the design of three dimensional objects and not make one. | 420 |
Kendall Jenner | I weirdly love interior design and real estate and all of that. I really do. I get chills from it. | 420 |
Maria Sharapova | Ever since I was young I loved making things and being part of the design process. | 421 |
Sophia Amoruso | As a visual person, I love a creative resume. Putting in a little effort on the design side will show that you care about making things look good. | 421 |
Ivanka Trump | I spearhead interior design for all Trump projects. | 423 |
Ben Stein | For me, I've always believed that there was a God. I've always believed that God created the heavens and earth - so, for me it's not a huge leap from there to intelligent design. | 424 |
Dennis Prager | The evidence in this universe for design - or, if you will, the fine-tuning that cannot be explained by chance or by 'enough time' - is so compelling that the only way around it is to suggest that our universe is only one of an infinite number of universes. | 425 |
Martin Rees | Space doesn't offer an escape from Earth's problems. And even with nuclear fuel, the transit time to nearby stars exceeds a human lifetime. Interstellar travel is therefore, in my view, an enterprise for post-humans, evolved from our species not via natural selection, but by design. | 425 |
Craig Venter | In a biological system, the software builds its own hardware, but design is critical, and if you start with digital information, it has to be really accurate. | 426 |
Kourtney Kardashian | We always say we are a brand for our fans because through social media we're so lucky to see what people are asking us for, what they're looking for, and so we really design what we like but also take our fans in mind. | 501 |
John Malkovich | You can be a mason and build 50 buildings, but it doesn't mean you can design one. | 501 |
Camille Paglia | It's aggravating that Hollywood has never gotten credit for the role it played in promoting modern design. | 503 |
Ira Glass | When you're learning, especially to write, unless you're some incredibly gifted writer, a young Malcom Gladwell, say, you need to be imitating people. You need to be imitating how they make their work, how they structure it, how they design the pieces. It gives you chops; it gives you moves. | 505 |
Peter Singer | Google has withdrawn from China, arguing that it is no longer willing to design its search engine to block information that the Chinese government does not wish its citizens to have. In liberal democracies around the world, this decision has generally been greeted with enthusiasm. | 506 |
Matt Mullenweg | The themes in WordPress drive a lot of design trends. It democratizes design... You make a theme, and suddenly it's on hundreds and thousands of sites. | 507 |
Kourtney Kardashian | We do have a two against one rule. If two sisters feel very strongly about a design or trend we want to try, we go for it. | 508 |
Kourtney Kardashian | We spent a lot of time trend forecasting and collaborating on ways to design a fresh line of fashion-forward, affordable luxury. | 509 |
Kourtney Kardashian | Designing was always something I was interested in. I studied fashion design in high school as well as how to sew. | 512 |
Ban Ki-moon | The possibility that terrorist groups could obtain weapons of mass destruction should not be dismissed as a fiction. This is a horrific threat the international community should take seriously. As long as these weapons exist, so, too, does the risk of their use - by accident or design. | 513 |
Drew Barrymore | I'm a total control freak and love to participate in the design of every single aspect of life. | 513 |
Gordon B. Hinckley | Unfortunately, some women want to remake their husbands after their own design. | 513 |
Virginia Postrel | We've gone from a world in which Starbucks set a cutting-edge standard for mass-market design to a world in which Starbucks establishes the bare minimum. If your establishment can't come up with an original look, customers expect at least some sleek wood fixtures, nicely upholstered chairs, and faux-Murano glass pendant lights. | 514 |
Christian Louboutin | I never wanted to work in fashion. At age 12 or 13, I wanted to design for showgirls - for the theater! And I was crazy for the Hollywood of the 1950s: Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor, Jennifer Jones. They were my idea of glamour - and Sylvie Vartan, the French singer. | 516 |
Douglas Rushkoff | The new Zune may not be an iPod killer, but it does offer a clean interface, great industrial design, HD radio, and a subscription model for music, making it significantly less expensive for big users. | 517 |

Christian Louboutin | I never was interested in being part of the fashion world - I just wanted to design shoes. I didn't even know 'Vogue' existed when I was growing up. 'Vogue,' what is that?' | 618 |
Elon Musk | So we originally expected to make about 35 gigawatt hours at the cell level and about 50 gigawatt hours at the module or pack level. Now we are expecting to do about 150 gigawatt hours in the same volumetric space as the original design. | 621 |
