"Think of and look at your work as though it were done by your enemy. If you look at it to admire it, you are lost." - Samuel Butler.

This site is all kind of cool. It aims at providing outlets to all forms of design, whether it be graphically or architecturally, interior or exterior, art and so forth; it's almost a link hub, which I like a lot, and it has tons of really great, great quotes.

The cure for boredom is curiosity.

There is no cure for curiosity.

“When I was nine, I asked my Dad, ‘Can I have your movie camera? That old, wind-up 8-millimeter movie camera that’s in your drawer?’ And he goes, ‘Sure, take it.’ And I took it, and I started making movies with it, and I started being as creative as I could, and never once in my life did my parents ever say, ’ What you’re doing is a waste of time.’ Never….. I know there are kids out there that don’t have that support system. So, if you’re out there and you’re listening, listen to me: If you wanna be creative, get out there and do it. It’s not a waste of time.”

—	MICHAEL GIACCHINO, upon receiving his Oscar for Best Original Score (Up).

"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."
Oscar Wilde.

FORTY-FIVE.

"In an age when other fantastically speedy, widespread media are triumphing and running the risk of flattening all communication onto a single, homogeneous surface, the function of literature is communication between things that are different simply because they are different, not blunting but even sharpening the differences between them, following the true bent of the written language." Italo Calvino, Six Memos for the Next Millennium.

Design is where science and art break even.

- Robin Mathew

Design is the search for a magical balance between business and art; art and craft; intuition and reason; concept and detail; playfulness and formality; client and designer; designer and printer; and printer and public.
- Valerie Pettis

Truly elegant design incorporates top-notch functionality into a simple, uncluttered form.
- David Lewis

Art is an idea that has found its perfect visual expression. And design is the vehicle by which this expression is made possible. Art is a noun, and design is a noun and also a verb. Art is a product and design is a process. Design is the foundation of all the arts.
- Paul Rand
