Design is too important to be left to designers.

No manufacturer, from General Motors to the Little Lulu Novelty Company, would think of putting a product on the market without benefit of a designer.

It all must start with an inspired, spontaneous idea.

Good design keeps the user happy, the manufacturer in the black and the aesthete unoffended.

I alienated the automotive industry by saying that cars should be lightweight and compact.

Form, which should be the clean - cut expression of mechanical excellence has become sensuous and organic.

I can claim to have made the daily life of the 20th Century more beautiful.
