'Form follows function' comes with so much baggage. It's a worthless phrase because you'll never take it for what it means.

My work is not about "form follows function," but "form follows beauty" or, even better, "form follows feminine."

Intrinsic value follows meaning follows form follows economics follows function follows more economics follows market research.

Erik Adigard

Good design is not about form following function. It is function with cultural content. By adding "cultural content" to the concept of "form follows function," objects cease to be finite or predictable. Maybe the right way to interpret the dictum is to first acknowledge that the function needs to be clearly understood before the form is considered.

Carl Magnusson

Form follows function - that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.

Frank Lloyd Wright

If form follows function, as we know it does in this Universe, then consciousness will adapt to whatever form it requires in order to function. Hopefully, it will also develop its fundamental function; what that is may be debatable within many schools of thought, but it is indisputable that evolved thinking recognizes the universality of Life.

Vanna Bonta

To me, form doesn't always follow function. Form has a life of its own, and at times, it may be the motivating force in design. When you're dealing with form as a sculptor, you feel that you are quite free in attempting to mould and shape things you want to do, but in architecture, it's much more difficult because it has to have a function.

I. M. Pei

The act of writing means you wish to communicate. Whether you're writing a memoir for yourself you put in a drawer, or you write a poem and you send it to a little magazine, or you write for publication, it always means - the form follows function.

Harlan Ellison

It's the idea of baggage. When you hear about people in their 40s boast about not having baggage. I think having no baggage is your baggage. That means that you haven't thrown yourself into the mess of life.

Steve Toltz

The form follows the function.

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck

Form follows function.

Louis Sullivan

Louis Sullivan

Form follows finances instead of function.

Ira Flatow

Form follows function straight to hell.

Alan Cooper

Form follows function, as the architects say. With words and pictures, you can do just about anything.

Bill Watterson

We all come to the theater with baggage; The baggage of our daily lives, the baggage of our problems, the baggage of our tragedies, the baggage of being tired. It doesn't matter what age you are. But if our hearts get opened and released - well, that's what theater can do, and does sometimes, and everyone is thankful when that happens.

Vanessa Redgrave
