Design × Business × Life

I've been gathering these quotes for over a decade. There's so much wisdom in the words of others. In addition to be useful for teaching (and Twitter), they're also useful for occasional check-ins for life.

I've ordered them by the three themes of The School of Design: design × business × life. I'm adding as I organise my files because I have hundreds of these stored in Simplenote and Bear. Check back often.

Design

"The details are not the details; they make the product."

—Charles and Ray Eames

“Design has become the cover for unnecessary consumption.”

—Peter Saville

“The simplest way to achieve simplicity is through thoughtful reduction.”

—John Maeda

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

—Massimo Vignelli

“People ignore design that ignores people.”
