Heaven is satisfied curiosity.

In an ideal world, social responsibility would be a prerequisite for design, and designers would vow to produce beautiful, useful, positive, responsible, functional, and economical things and concepts that are meaningful additions to—or sometimes subtractions from—the world we live in. Indeed, design deserves such thoughtful consideration.

Ugly design should be rejected, just like nonfunctional design is rejected, just like nonenvironmentally conscious design should be rejected. It's a value.

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

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

Designers may be the true intellectuals of the future.

Designers stand between revolutions and everyday life. They’re able to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and society and convert those changes into objects and ideas that people can understand.
