"The grid is like the lines on a football field. You can play a great game in the grid or a lousy game. But the goal is to play a really fine game." - Wim Crouwel

What does that even mean??? Ok the grid is like a football field but whats the grid?

@TeachMeCode Had to Google the guy to figure out. Wim Crouwel was a graphic designer and typographer apparently famous for how he used grid-based layouts, or something.

So it's a graphic designer quote, but even with that context it's still a bit confusing.
