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

Designers need to be mavericks, because the best way to design a successful object is to pretend that either it never existed or that people will be able to have a new behavior with it.

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.

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

Not all design is for the general good.

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

Heaven is satisfied curiosity.
