Michel de Montaigne Philosopher, Writer “I have seen books made of things neither studied nor ever understood ... the author contenting himself for his own part, to have cast the plot and projected the design of it, and by his industry to have bound up the fagot of unknown provisions; at least the ink and paper his own. This may be said to be a buying or borrowing, and not a making or compiling of a book.” Book Design Ink And Paper ♥ 3
Michelle Obama Lawyer, Author, First Lady “What I love about design is the artistic and scientific complexity that also becomes useful . . . Great designers also pursue a mission. Great designers design with mankind in mind . . . The crossroads of science and art, innovation and inspiration are what I love about design.” Art Inspiration Design ♥ 3
Miles Franklin Author “I'm sure it's not any wish of mine that I'm born with inclinations for better things. If I could be born again, and had the designing of myself, I'd be born the lowest and coarsest-minded person imaginable, so that I could find plenty of companionship, or I'd be born an idiot, which would be better still.” Would Be Wish Design ♥ 3
Kurt Vonnegut Novelist, Satirist “They say, you know, about evolution, it surely happened because their fossil record shows that. Look, my body and your body are miracles of design. Scientists are pretending they have the answer as how we got this way when natural selection couldn't possibly have produced such machines.” Looks Design Miracle ♥ 3
LS Louis Silverstein Artist “It isn't a question of enhancement through design. Whether an editor realizes it or not, design is part of what he does every time he prints the paper.” Doe Design Editors ♥ 3
LW Louise Wilson Fashion Designer “I had an argument with my students on why they want to present their work in an iBook, it's like your sister who has no design training, put on some outfits in the bedroom, took some pictures, sent them to Apple and after paying 40 quid, you have a portfolio! I can't believe it.” Believe Design Apples ♥ 3
Maya Lin Architect, Artist “I cannot force a design; I do not see this process as being under my conscious control.” Design Process Conscious ♥ 3
