An interface is humane if it is responsive to human needs and considerate of human frailties.

I hate mice. The mouse involves you in arm motions that slow you down. I didn't want it on the Macintosh, but Jobs insisted. In those days, what he said went, good idea or not.

A well-designed and humane interface does not have to be split into beginner and expert subsystems.

If our field is "to advance", we must - without displacing creativity and aesthetics - make sure our terminology is clear.

When you have to choose among methods, your locus of attention is drawn from the task and temporarily becomes the decision itself.

As far as the customer is concerned, the interface is the product.

A computer shall not harm your work or, through inaction, allow your work to come to harm.
