The pencil you leave it there, and it's dead. It doesn't do anything and it doesn't move by itself. It doesn't offer anything; it's totally submissive to you.

Massimo VignelliSo what is design all about? It [exists to] decrease the amount of vulgarity in the world ... to make the world a better place to be. It doesnโt have to be one style.
