Not all design is for the general good.

Elegance in objects is everybody’s right, and it shouldn’t cost more than ugliness.

Designers may be the true intellectuals of the future.

I want people to understand that design is so much more than cute chairs - that it is first and foremost everything that is around us in our life.

While an artist can choose whether or not to be responsive and responsible towards other human beings, by definition a designer must be.

We live today not in the digital, not in the physical, but in the kind of minestrone that our mind makes of the two.

Be yourself, be in the moment, you’re going to be modern.

Small objects, like the Walkman first and then the iPod, create bubbles of space around us that enable us to have a metaphysical space that is much bigger than our physical space.

Good design is a Renaissance attitude that combines tech, cognitive science, human need and beauty to produce something.

Beauty and elegance are a right, not a surplus... . We must demand, at least, intention.

Life is tough; thank God there's design.

If you're loving and kind then you have no need to seek love because love will seek you.

Each book is a mind alive, a life revealed, a world awaiting exploration, but living people are all those things, as well—and more, because their stories haven’t yet been completely told.

I'm like a Sid Vicious for a new generation.

My goodness, my hair's been talked about by a million people, you know? It sort of goes with the territory.

I welcome all the signs indicating that a more manly and warlike age is commencing, which will, above all, bring heroism again into honour!

Just film what's there, trust what came before, one hour before, and make it easy.

I squirm when I see athletes praying before a game. Don't they realize that if God took sports seriously he never would have created George Steinbrenner.

There is nothing in the world like persuasive speech to fuddle the mental apparatus.

Someone has said that to plagiarise from the ancients is to play the pirate beyond the Equator, but that to steal from the moderns is to pick pockets at street corners.

Values unrelated to modern reality are not just electorally hopeless, the values themselves become devalued. They have no purchase on the real world.
