"We know about as much about software quality problems as they knew about the Black Plague in the 1600s. We’ve seen the victims’ agonies and helped burn the corpses. We don’t know what causes it; we don’t really know if there is only one disease. We just suffer — and keep pouring our sewage into our water supply." - Tom Van Vleck

"Graphic design is putting a flower pot in a skyscraper" - @C0D4

"a 5% feature (used by less than 5% of all users) is a distraction for all the other users, and is better removed, unless it’s really critical (a small number of users do need to cancel service, for example)." - Neil Hunt

"… people in the newspaper industry saw the web as a newspaper. People in TV saw the web as TV, and people in book publishing saw it as a weird kind of potential book. But the web is not just some kind of magic all-absorbing meta-medium. It’s its own thing." - Paul Ford

"Designers shooting for usable is like a chef shooting for edible." - Aarron Walter

"I don’t think of myself as an artist. I know some designers consider themselves such, but I can’t. This is not to say that I don’t hope that our work has artistic merit. Anyway, I never know how someone could proclaim himself or herself to be an ‘artist’; I think it should be a designation best left for others to bestow, much like ‘genius’ and ‘asshole’." - Alexander Isley

"Minimalism is not a lack of something. It’s simply the perfect amount of something." - Nicholas Burroughs

"Hackers don’t need idea people when they are the idea people." - Marc Grabanski

"If it were easy to nut out tricky design problems, I might be out of a job. But it’s also true that the cleverness in most lateral design doesn’t come from blindly grinding away at the same concept. When you’re dealing with ideas, it’s rarely a matter of simply putting in more time working. Five minutes can be much more fruitful than five hours." - Rob Morris

"Your best work is your expression of yourself. Now, you may not be the greatest at it, but when you do it, you’re the only expert." - Frank Gehry

"What problem have you solved, ever, that was worth solving where you knew all the given information in advance? No problem worth solving is like that.

But what do you do when the light turns blue with orange and lavender spots?" - Shel Silverstein

"Real art has the capacity to make us nervous." - Susan Sontag

"If you can’t draw as well as someone, or use the software as well, or if you do not have as much money to buy supplies, or if you do not have access to the tools they have, beat them by being more thoughtful. Thoughtfulness is free and burns on time and empathy. " - Frank Chimero

"It’s quicker to hate on a design picking out all the little things that should have done than to just do something great yourself. " - Tom Watson

"Being a graphic designer gets you used to rejection of your brilliance. So it’s good practice for dating. " - Heather Phillips

"A lot of companies have tried to support designers by giving them 'a seat at the table.' What this usually means in practice, however, is that a designer is sitting at the table well after the important product decisions that influence the design have been made. This is usually where complicated and muddy designs are born. " - Rebekah Cox

"Without good design it is easy to miss the point." - Bjarni Wark

"Simplicity does not mean want or poverty. It does not mean the absence of any decor, or absolute nudity. It only means that the decor should belong intimately to the design proper, and that anything foreign to it should be taken away." - Paul Jacques Grillo

"As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.

We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don’t know
We don’t know. " - Donald Rumsfeld

"Language is the amber in which a thousand precious and subtle thoughts have been safely embedded and preserved. " - Richard C. Trench

"Write it down. You will lose thoughts, you thought, that you thought." - Vanessa Workoff

"We need to shift from designing applications to designing implications." - Anthony Dunne & Fiona Raby

"Design is the silent ambassador of your brand." - Paul Rand

"Do right. " - Jeffrey Brown

"Whoever tells the best story wins." - Annette Simmons

"Marketing without design is lifeless, and design without marketing is mute." - Von R. Glitschka

"I became a graphic artist because of the tools. I love working at a big drawing table with traditional tools: T-squares, compasses, mechanical pencils, French curves, blank ink, and graphite. At a computer, one works on a keyboard. I never considered myself a typist." - Michael Schwab

"Theory can blind observation." - Carol Gilligan

"If you are going to have less things, they have to be great things." - John Maeda

"…the wisest course of action is to take your best shot with a prototype, immediately get to market, and iterate quickly. If you wait for ideal circumstances in which you have all the information you need (which is impossible) the market will pass you by. " - Guy Kawasaki

"To see takes time." - Georgia O’Keeffe

"Recognizing the need is the primary condition for design." - Charles Eames

"If you haven’t surprised yourself yet, you haven’t done enough sketching." - Josh Collinsworth
