Thanks all for the inspiring quotations!
I seem to remember one, which I have a feeling may be by John Ruskin, but could be wrong - I think it is something like “Own only what is beautiful or serves a purpose….” Can anyone help identify the quote and who said it?? Yours gratefully!

“It’s about whittling. It’s about taking something and whittling and whittling and getting it sharp and perfect. Then you’ve got something.”

I belive I read the following a long time ago in a Canada Design Center brochure:

“Everything that doesn’t happen by accident, happen by design”

The American painter Wayne Thiebaud said this when speaking about art but it applies equally well to design.

“There is a huge difference between opinion and depth of insight.”

Excellent post. I think many people could learn from these quotes and use them in every day life. It is inspiring in many ways, not just design and writing but for every aspect of things we do. Has anyone else got any more quotes?
