- Engineering, medicine, business, architecture and painting are concerned not with the necessary but with the contingent - not with how things are but with how they might be - in short, with design.
- Herbert Simon on Design
- English is taking over the world. I just wrote a piece about it. And it's not by design. The United States dominates because it's the biggest market.
- Norman Spinrad on Design
- Even as a young boy, my passion was to design, and I have been very lucky to be able to do what I have loved all my life. There can be few greater gifts than that.
- Valentino Garavani on Design
- Even private persons in due season, with discretion and temper, may reprove others, whom they observe to commit sin, or follow bad courses, out of charitable design, and with hope to reclaim them.
- Isaac Barrow on Design
- Ever since I was young I loved making things and being part of the design process.
- Maria Sharapova on Design
- Every contrivance of man, every tool, every instrument, every utensil, every article designed for use, of each and every kind, evolved from a very simple beginnings.
- Robert Collier on Design
- Every step and every movement of the multitude, even in what are termed enlightened ages, are made with equal blindness to the future and nations stumble upon establishments, which are indeed the result of human action, but not the execution of any human design.
- Adam Ferguson on Design
- Everyone by now presumably knows about the danger of premature optimization. I think we should be just as worried about premature design - designing too early what a program should do.
- Paul Graham on Design
- Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.
- Herbert Simon on Design
- Everyone wants an iPhone, but it would be impossible to design an iPhone in China because it's not a product it's an understanding of human nature.
