I oftentimes say that I design my collections off my phone. I'm in a group chat with my team in Milan. I copy and paste. I draw. I look at trends. I don't really have an assistant. It's a modern way of working. I don't know if it's sustainable, but it's how I do it.

Virgil Abloh

There’s no copy-and- paste system in foreign aid.

Atifete Jahjaga

Serious accidents are frequently blamed on "human error." Yet careful analysis of such situations shows that the design or installation of the equipment has contributed significantly to the problems. The design team or installers did not pay sufficient attention to the needs of those who would be using the equipment, so confusion or error was almost unavoidable.

Donald A. Norman

We're not proud, we're not egotistical. If someone is doing something better than we are, let's copy and paste when we should and when we can.

Doug McMillon

You can almost say that a design error is a human error because, after all, it's we humans who do the designing.

Henry Petroski

Start copying what you love. Copy copy copy copy. At the end of the copy you will find your self.

Yohji Yamamoto

The 'copy, paste' mentality of some investors and entrepreneurs - be careful of that. Do something that is unique to you, not because someone else's journey is mirroring it.

Shervin Pishevar

Everyday we just copy&paste ourselves from the previous day instead of creating a new blank page and be something different and original.

Marcelo Goianira

Never draw anything you can copy, never copy anything you can trace, never trace anything you can cut out and paste up.

Wally Wood

You cannot just copy and paste Carlo Ancelotti. He's been coaching for 20 years now and I have never heard a player complaining about him.

Gennaro Gattuso

When a director is remaking a film, he should tweak it, add Bengali sentiments to it and make it look like a regional movie. A copy-paste job is something I don't support at all.

Prosenjit Chatterjee

We are a cut-and-paste culture. The aim of the protectionists is to argue that a cut-and-paste culture is criminal. Well, it's only criminal if there's nothing out there that you can freely cut and paste. If we increasingly mark material as available for these non-commercial uses, then people will have the opportunity to see its importance.

Lawrence Lessig

Even better than good error messages is a careful design which prevents a problem from occurring in the first place. Either eliminate error-prone conditions or check for them and present users with a confirmation option before they commit to the action.

Jakob Nielsen

I'm definitely trying to make songs that people can sing along to and remember. If you can recognize a chorus and leave with it in your head, it's usually a good sign. But then with the verses, I can get a little more free form. I don't really like to copy and paste things.

Jillian Hervey

Dieter Rams

Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. Error is neither Mind nor one of Mind's faculties. Error is the contradiction of Truth. Error is a belief without understanding. Error is unreal because untrue. It is that which stemma to be and is not. If error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity -namely, erroneous truth. Thus we should continue to lose the standard of Truth.
