Design is not art. Design is utilitarian, art is not.

The computer needs...even by accident, offers incredible beautiful things that are very seductive. And if you forget about, or if you don't have an idea to begin with, it is very easy to be seduced and that is not a good use of the computer.

There is no design without discipline. There is no discipline without intelligence.

Intellectual elegance [is] a mind that is continually refining itself with education and knowledge. Intellectual elegance is the opposite of intellectual vulgarity.

Designers take care of everything around us. Everything that is around us, this table, this chair, this lamp, this pen has been designed. All of these things, everything has been designed by somebody.

...if all people doing desktop publishing were doctors we would all be dead!

Styles come and go. Good design is a language, not a style.
