― Steve Wozniak ―
Picture of quotation author David Chipperfield
„We see buildings in Britain mostly as freestanding objects. They are not meant to have a dialogue with anything around them, or with history, or with ideas of any kind beyond the self-referential. What we call 'regeneration' is largely an excuse for building for maximum profit with a bit of sculptural design thrown in to catch the eye of the media.“
Picture of quotation author 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.“
― Tony Fadell ―
Picture of quotation author 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.“
― Carroll Shelby ―
Picture of quotation author 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.“
― Marc Newson ―
Picture of quotation author 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.“
― John Maeda ―
Picture of quotation author 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.“
Picture of quotation author George Edmund Street
„It is most necessary to avoid rusticity in any way, whether in material, design, or execution.“
Picture of quotation author Nicola Formichetti
„Uniqlo as a company has always developed new fabrics and is always trying to be innovative. The design is simple, so the fabric is important.“
Picture of quotation author Charles Eames

Picture of quotation author 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.“
Picture of quotation author 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.“
― Frans de Waal ―

Picture of quotation author 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.“
― Richard Rogers ―
Picture of quotation author Martin Filler
„Nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century exponents of prefabrication were certain it would supplant age-old traditions of individualized design and handcrafted construction. The building art would be revolutionized by freeing designers and construction workers from repetitive tasks, and democratized by making high-style architecture more affordable.“
― Martin Filler ―
Picture of quotation author 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.“
― Martin Rees ―
Picture of quotation author 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.“
